New Haven, Conn. Monday
August 8, 1938
Left New Haven at 9.20 A.M. with Pres-
ton Cloud at the wheel of his auto to get
to Portland, Maine by night. At noon
we had lunch at Wolgole and by 12.30
we were again on our way.
Got to Rochester N. Hampshire at 5.40
P.M. and put up at the New City Hotel. We travel-
ed about 225 miles, or about 30 miles per
hour. Started out at N. Haven via Route 7010
and then via 202 all the way to Rochester.
It was a hot day and the auto heats
of considerably, and as the car has no bottom
or front openings, riding was not at all
comfortable.
Cloud is a careful driver and
handles the old car nicely. This Old Buick
das gone over 81,000 miles.
