"On the Way Home
Thursday March 31 - 1938.
Left the great Jefferson Hotel at 7.30 A.M. in a car for the depot. The 8.15 train came on time. A bright sunny day, and everywhere the fruit trees in bloom.
When we got north of Fredericktown a fog was lying over the land and it got thicker as we proceeded north.
One hundred miles north of Washington steam was turned on to warm the cars. The fog held on and is thick as ever through Phila. & Althia.
Fog and very light rain all the way to N.Y. City. Got there at 4.25, or 30 minutes late. That's one lot at Washington. Left N.Y. City at 4.55 and got to New Haven at 6.35 P.M. Taxied over with my luggage to the Lawn Club and took some number eight.
