We had an interview with Mr. Peabody,
the owner of the Steamer which we
will take to Alaska. We paid him
$50 each for the company to take us
to Alaska. I am quite unwell, getting
too fat about the heart.

July 1^st It is quite cold this morning.
We visited a store to buy some things
for our sea voyage. I bought a pair
of garments and a cap. After
finishing shopping I returned to the
hotel. Emma and the girls bought
fur capes. In the afternoon we took
the cars and drove to the dry docks.
There was a three mast English
ship of war on the dock for repairs.
I found it hard work to walk.
I am getting so much fat about my
heart I am in danger of my
life.
