September 10, 1898

Fine cool weather. Gave list of customers & instructions to Heffernan. Hired Warnacks buggy & horses and left here with Martha at 1/2 past 4 o’clock. Stopped in Hadley to buy candy and cigars and then drove on to Ludlow, where we arrived at 8 o’clock. Met Ernst and Arthur on the way home. The all expected us to come with the train and so sent the team to the depot, but got left. It was a pleasant drive, and we both enjoyed it pretty well. Went to bed late to night, but slept like the Lord in france.
