The next day Edith Donaldson and I packed our trunks. At two o’clock in the morning, favored with the light of the moon, we started for the cars, and at half past six we stepped on board the train at Black Hawk. The journey was anything but pleasant, for the heat was intense. {LS 236.2}

Den næste dag pakkede Edith Donaldson og jeg vore kuffeter. Klokken to om morgnen gik vi i månens lys hen imod vognen, og halv syv steg vi på i toget i Black Hawk. Rejsen var alt andet end behagelig, for det var for varmt.
