Tuesday Feb 28-1928. Jacksonville.
Today life easy. A fine sunny day, the four
me on this trip back in Florida. Bought my ticket
to New Sharon via Seaboard Air Line for
$50.04, and $7.50 for baggage from New York.
Wednesday Feb 29, 1928, Jacksonville.
Another fine day. Doctored about and owned
myself. In the afternoon spent 2 1/2 hours looking up
Encyclopedia about the West Indies in the Public
Library.
Packed up and paid my hotel bill to start quietly
in the morning.
Thursday March 1-1928, En Route Home.
Got up at 6:45 and 7:30 was off to the Union
Station at Jacksonville and the Seaboard Air Line
8 A.M. train for New York. A fine day and all goes
well.
Coming through Georgia our are high and thick with
red mud. They must carry much mud and sand into
the Atlantic. Near Columbia S.C saw the first hard rock, a
very large quarry situated for fall air, evidently granite.
Retired at 8:15 P.M.
