November 3, Monday, Homeward.
Arrived on time at St. Louis, 7.07 A.M., the
train having made up the lost time during the
night.
After arranging for train car travel and a
breakfast at the depot started out to walk
around St. Louis. The air is free of smokeburns
on the air it affected my throat! Then via
truly want not to see George Washington
and Rust.
At 12.02 I am off on the 'New Yorker', one
of the best trains in America for New York City.
The days clear and sunny and I see
the plains of Illinois and Indiana. At 4 P.M.
came at Terre Haute. The railroad is
with its trucks.
