Awoke at Ottumwa, Iowa with sun rising in the N.E. Hot, windy, very dusty day. Fared well, very warm and dusty. Passed through level country most of time. Crops hardly as good as at home. Still feeling well, rested by long sleep.
Trains run irregular.
Thro' some cities, small towns, etc. Very beautiful run from P. To Washington. Hilly, wooded, curves, bridges, tunnels, R.R. follows river bed. Felt well, cloudy and cooler. Wrote from Washington to ACA, Eva and Ada.
