New Haven, July 1, 1922 Saturday. Left New Haven, Conn. at 9.47 A.M. and got to White River Junction, Vermont, at 4 P.M. It is raining most of the day. At White River Doretta Seegles met at hand with a fine limousine. With him were A. Keith and Doretta Swinerton About 4.15 P.M. we headed south for to miles St. Johnsbury, Vt., where we arrived at 9.30 P.M. There had been very heavy news last Thursday and in places the road had been washed out. However we get over all the bad places without mis- delay. The rivers are all swollen, and in places are only their banks. Arrived at St. Johnsbury at 8.30 P.M. It is here that the Faintanks scales are made. The town is about the size and importance of Brattleboro and Bellows Falls. A rather nice place. The Faintanks have presented the city with a museum but I did not get to see it. Retired at 10.30 P.M.
