Thursday Dec. 22 - 1927. Left New York on the Penn. R. R. at 4:05 P.M. found in Cincinnati. A splendid Limited train. Pullman's crowded. Had to take an upper berth. Two noisy Cincinnati boys, not bad, but awfully tags raised by an a small offensive mother. Friday Dec. 23 - 1927. Cincinnati. Train & half hour late, arrived at 10:30 A.M. Albert was at the station with his car to meet me. Strolled around the center of the city and then over in the Public Library for a half hour. They have my Text-Book, but not my The Earth and its Rhythm. Then met Albert at the Hilton Hotel for lunch. After lunch he took me in his car to see brother Philip, and we talked on until 5 P.M. when we motored to his new home. Philip's new house over here is a bungalow, handy, but without beauty or pretty; cost about $7,000. Albert's home is a pretty modern cottage, English style, costing about $14,000. Albert himself put in about $6,000 with 5 limestone retaining walls in the well of his hillside home.
