New Haven, May 30-1908 Left for Montreal via Springfield at 5.45 P.M. One hour wait at the latter place where we gets the sleeper. The route is via Bellows Falls, Rutland, and Burlington to Montreal. May 31 - 1908 Arrived at 7.11. A.M. after a good nights rest in the Sleeper. Transferred my baggage to the C.P.R., Paz dever Station for Quebec. The day is dark and almost rainy. Started out to see the city. Looked up McGill University and took two photos of Peter Redpath Museum. Then climbed up to the top of Mount Royal said to be 800' above the sea or 700' above the river. If the day was clear the outlook would have been great. Mount Royal is situated almost alone in a quiet plain through which flows the St. Lawrence. Far over on the South side of the river can to be seen the Lachine Mts.
