From 4:00 AM to 3:30 P.M. I rode from Buffalo to N York and the coun[tr]y was beautiful. Rolling hills covered with grass & hardwood trees interspersed with farms, homes &c. The autos and auto roads interested me. The rivers & natural parks were fascinating.

I later talked with him on the Phone. I went to the Rialto show, after walking out to the East end of 42nd St. where it touches the river and west a number of blocks. As I was walking west on 42nd St. The Sun was setting apparently at the west end of the street and it made a picture I would like to have, photographed. I took train at 10:45 P.M. for Boston.

On train for Boston. I awoke at 4:00 A.M. the sun just rising in the East about as pretty a spectacle as that of last evening about 7:40 as it was setting. The scenery between N.

Called at the headquarters of the missionaries, where we met seven, two who are local and the others from outside. Arranged for our meetings to-morrow 9—2—7:30 The Elders will hold street meetings to-night. It being raw cold weather, Pres. Hart suggested that it would be unwise for him & me to attend the Street meetings to-night. In this I heartily concur, feeling that I might easily contract a cold which might disable me or be a serious handicap through out my visit in this mission.

Two Successful meetings were held on the <Street.> [page break]
