September 12, 1904.  With George from T. to L.R. and G.E.  We met
at T. at 8 o'clock.  Our trip along Cromwell Bridge R'd was a most
pleasant one, as it was shady almost the entire way.  We made the
trip to L.R. in an hour & a half.  We visited the old mill.  I was anxious
to show G. the old structure and hoped to find it running.  It did not
take us long to reach it.  It is now no longer the fine old mill, a fire
having destroyed it almost entirely (either day after Christmas or the day
after New Year).  The four walls and the old wheel alone remains.
At L.R. we observed how low the water was.  We understood then
why the anxiety about our water supply.  Our trip now was not so 
pleasant.  It was very very hot and sultry.  We entered one of the
little ravines and ate our dinner beside a brook.  After dinner we 
continued our trip to G.E.  Here G. secured a nice picture.  We then hastened
onward to the Dulaney Valley Pike.  Distant thunder was
heard but we hardly expected rain.  Nor did it until we were almost in
T. when it poured down for a few minutes.  We sought shelter under
the blacksmith's shed.  After the rain we went through T. visited
the Church of the Immacualte and then started for home.
