1902. [[underlined]] Logansport & Joaquin & Stimpson [[/underlined]]

[[underlined]] June 17 [[/underlined]] Woke up in Logansport on the east bank of the Sabine River. Got mail, tramped in woods for an hour & concluded the places did not promise well so took the 9 AM train for Joaquin, just across in Texas. Left Hollister there & went on to Timpson to see what the country was like beyond. Found nothing promising so decided to return to Joaquin. Took a few photographs of woods at Timpson, & wrote until train time. The country is mainly timbered with many fairly good farms & lots of cotton growing. The soil seems good & crops look better than further north. The timber is essentially the same as at Jefferson. No Pinus palmatis has been seen yet. There are sawmills at most of the towns and a good deal of lumber comes in from various places. Some good pieces of standing timber seen with good sized trees of [[underlined]] Pinus [[nintis?]] [[/underlined]] & [[underlined]] teda [[/underlined]].

Transcription Notes:
Pinus [[nintis?]] - unsure of this species
