Sep. 30 Left Redford at 9.51-9 M. at Port Huron I found that I could not go north before 4.15 P.M and that I would not arrive in Alpena before 11.45-9 M. tomorrow. The weather is very cold so that I was compelled to purchase a suit of woolen underwear. At Bay City I concluded not to take the midnight train since I would have to ride on 114 miles on a freight train, stopped over at Bay City. Oct. 1 Started for Alpena from Bay City at 12.45 P.M. arrived in Alpena at 7.35 P.M. Put up at the Sherman House.
