"Second Write in Florida" New Haven, Conn. Friday January 9 - 1931 Stood all day at Museum and left New Haven at 7.47 P.M. destined for St. Augustine, Florida. After a week in bed attended by a doctor and nurse I am about rested. What is left is a little of nasal sinus infection, and it will leave after a few days in sunny Florida. The sleeper I am in goes through to Miami Florida, and I am expected to land at St. Augustine Saturday night Jan 10, at 10.10 P.M. En route, Saturday Jan. 10 - 1931 I slept cold most of the night and finally had to put on more clothing and add the overcoat as it was evening. When day light came we were south of Richmond Va., and the sun shone all the day. Saw some snow on the ground as far south as D.C. Train a times all day. Good dinner car, but my Pullman car has hot for passengers more than 6-7. The train of Pullmans must be a slight family long. We go all the way to the Crystal Plain - the Atlantic Coast Line.
