September IAN This morning we turned
our faces once more towards home, and as
we took our seats in the train for the West,
that thought gave US great deal Of pleasure,
although home was full FIVE thousand miles
away We road all day, and until o'clock
at night, at speed Of fifteen miles an hour,
over the hattest country we ever saw, TO
Stuttgart, the Capital Of Wurtenberg There
are no dikes as 10 Holland to interrupt the
view, and the eye takes in an expanss that
seems as vast as ocean itself | did not see
