Journal Entry

August 15, 1896 ~ Saturday

Aug 15th We arrived at Portland this morning about 8
o'clock. I find I feel better. We took breakfast at the
Portland Hotel. I wrote letters to Ovando, Owen, Blanch
and James Jack and told him about the mistake in not
providing Asahel with tickets &c. We spent the day at
the Hotel and went on board the Steamer "State of California"
at 8 o'clock and sailed down the Columbia River and out
to sea quite smoothly.
