To day I left Washington City by the ferry boat for Alexandria, and at Alexandria I took the cars and arrived at Lynchburg Pa. about 6 O'Clock P.M. here we failed to connect with cars and were compelled to remain over all night. expenses $1.50. weather cloudy & rainy all day.
Thus closes my notes for the month of December and also for the year just passed and gone and now numbered with the things that were. Whether the Almighty will spare me to chronicle the daily events of the incoming year is more than I know but trusting in Him I shall enter upon the pleasing task, which is useful as a reference and may be profitable to those who have an interest in me.

Friday, July 13th, 1860. After travelling again all night, I arrived at Alexandria at day light and thence to Washington City for breakfast, and after breakfast on to the City of Baltimore, where I determined to lay over, because I was very much fatigued, & perfectly worn out for the want of sleep. I stoped at Barnum's hotel [pictured here]. expenses of the day $3.75. weather changable & warm.Barnum's Hotel is mentioned in Gossip from Baltimore in the New York Times on 19th June 1860.
