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.
