Saturday June 11. Snoozing and waking arrived at "War- 

 burg in the early morning. Took R. R. for Cassel, meeting a 

 Conducteur who spoke English, a jolly good fellow who took 

 us to the "Konig von Preussen," got us diligence tickets etc. 

 to Gottingen, whither we posted at 10 o'clock after looking a 

 little at Cassel. Arrived at Gottingen at 4 o'clock. Found 

 the "Krone" and High Worthy Herr Rettman, who toasted 

 on champagne and got off "true pain to sham friends" 

 took us around to the fellows' rooms. Found none but Wil- 

 liams at the Gardener's House. Coming into town found 

 Weyman and Uricoechea, had a jolly good time until bedtime.

 at 4 P.M. whither we arrived in good season, got supper and 

 left by a night train, the first of the season, for Halle. 



Thursday June 16. Morning found us in Halle. Went to 

 the Kron Prinz, got breakfast and sallied out to find Mr. 

 Young, in two hours of search by the final aid of a German 

 student found his room, and in 3/4 of an hour found him. 

 He took us to see a German friend of his who gave us letters 

 to Menzel of Leipzig. Called on Chapman, thence went to 

 Station, and were soon on the way to Leipsic, where we 

 arrived at noon, stopping at the "Hotel de Baviere. " After 

 dinner sallied out and called on Dr. Erdmann, found him 

 and his Lab. open and right. Himself talking some English 

 and jolly. Found Menzel and with his aid after two trials 

 found a nice cheap room with apparently a nice Wirth and 

 Wirthinn. Returned to the Baviere and lodged.
