Battle Creek, Michigan, Tuesday, December 30, 1890

We changed cars early in the morning. Waited 40 minutes. Stepped into a restaurant across the street and called for warm drink—hot water and milk—and were refreshed. We were soon seated in the cars for Toledo. Without delay we took streetcars for the next depot while a dray took our trunks across. We found cars open and we took our seats in them. They did not leave for half an hour. I was thankful we performed the journey thus far so comfortably. We reached Battle Creek about three p.m.—Manuscript 53, 1890, 21 (Diary 16, p. 444).MR1033 55.1
