Jan 23--Somewhere in Iowa. Arrived in Chicago at one o'clock.
Jan 24--Had breakfast in Cleveland, Ohio. Traveled in a rainstorm all day. Went to see Niagara Falls. They were a big disppointment.
Jan 25--Arrived in New York, Hotel McAlpin at 9:08 am. . . . We went to a show and sightseeing. This is some town. Religion is something these people seem never to have heard of.
Jan 26--Received letter from Gwen and I was sincerely glad to receive it. . .tour of New York.
Jan 27--Left for pier at 10 o'clock. Was disappointed when I saw the SS Manhattan. Realized later her size and beauty. Out of sight of land in one hour after sailing.
Jan 29--950 miles out of New York, 2000 to go and Oh! boy, I wouldn't trade places with anybody right now. We are having a swell trip. . . .Have played deck games and chess . . .Wrote a letter to Gwen and saw 'Bulldog Drummond Escapes' as our movie. Rolling sea but not sea sick."
Feb 1--Today has been another fine day on the ocean, smoother sailing than we have had for 3 days. . . .Have been bull fisting for 3 hours with the fellows. Fun.
Feb 2 [after 7 days at sea]--A dense fog and a steady rain enveloped us and the ship today. We touched at Coba, Ireland at nine o'clock this morning. A beautiful bay. Then we proceeded on down the coast. A rough sea. Arrived at Plymouth, Eng. at nine o'clock in the evening. Passed customs at the docks and boarded a train for London where we arrived at 4 am Feb. 3. . . . Found London to be very ancient and outmoded by our homes in the states, but very interesting."
