After breakfast packed up ready to start for Tallahassee, Florida, and then mtr Jack Smrille. I leave this evening at 5 P.M. on the L and N. Because of the hard rain all day it looked as if I could not get a cab to take me to the L and N. depot, but finally it worked out all right. The train started off promptly at 5 A.M. Train very crowded. Thursday, Feb 23-1928. Tallahassee, Fla. To Tallahassee, Fla., promptly at 7.48 which meant 6.48 because of coming east. Put up at the Cherokee Hotel, a second rate place charging first class prices. Has no dining room. Rained all day. Tallahassee is the Capitol of the state and the capitol building is a rather small affair with no particular architecture to it. The town has about 7500 people and the girls State College where make about 1500 students=10,000 people all told. At 9.30 I was in Dr. Herman Beuter's office and was with him and his staff all day.
