Day in the Life

Sep 5, 1896

Journal Entry

September 05, 1896 ~ Saturday

Sept 5th I had a bad night, did not sleep well.
I rested to day. The company went out on the
water in a Glass bottom boat. They gave a very
interesting history of it. I spent most of the day
in my room reading. The Steamer arrives in the
evening. I saw most of the people of the place go to
the pier when the Steamer came in.
