Sunday Sep. 9-1923 Boston
left at 12.04 P.M. in Boston, and
arrived at 4.15. Put up at my old place, the
Lenox Hotel.
To morrow morning say I am to meet Prof.
Raymond and his car are intend to get to Portsm-
ohio Maine. And that I have prepared and de-
fined the Mrs Brunswick geologist that I want to
make some of its relations in central Maine.
A most perfect day, and all Boston was en-
joying the fine cool breezes and the clear air
after the storms of yesterday.
Monday Sep. 16-1923. Boston-Augusta Maine.
Did not make connection with Raymond until
10.15 and then started out for Portsmouth, Portland,
Brunswick and Augusta where we arrived at 7 P.M.
Maine often is a flat plain with
much glacial sand, boulders and blue clay. As we
came from Brunswick the country rises some but
everywhere it is a dissected plain. But out way out
into... From Portland to Augusta the rocks appear to
be stratified gneiss cut by a coarse granite. All
appears to be the old and sort of Pre-Cambrian.
