Sunday August 17-1930 Left New Haven at 10.25 P.M. for Quebec via Montreal. It is a cool fine day. All morning wrote letters to my sister and brothers, and others. Packed up in the afternoon and read the N.Y. Times. Had a taxi take me to the station. Left at 10.25 P.M. Standard. Montreal, Monday Aug. 18. A fine morning arriving about 20 min. late in Montreal. Hunted up my suite case to have it inspected by the Customs and found it bonded to Campbellton. Adjusted the matter, and left at 9.30 A.M (30 min late) for Quebec where one arrived on time at 2.30 P.M. It is raining and so spent the rest of the day at the Chateau de Frontenac. Crossed the St. Lawrence river to Lorette and at 9 P.M. Standard time got aboard the sleeper (Sala) for Matapedia. Standing in front of the hotel and looking down the St Lawrence Valley one is impressed with the fact that nowhere in N. America is from a grander view scene. To the N.W. are the Laurentides, then the terraced river on either side with the hills to the south rising to the dissected plateau.
