[[underlined]]July 5[[/underlined]] - Woke up in southern Indiana and reached St. Louis at noon. Across southern Indiana and Illinois the season is more advanced than at Washington. The Tecoma radicans are adundant all along on the fences & in full bloom while our vine at home has only small buds that will not open for a week at least & now were seen in blossom east of the Mts. The wheat & rye are all in shock and have been for a long time. Corn & other crops are in advance of those around Washington as they should be. 
Went out to Exposition in P.M. & especially enjoyed the Philipines exhibit. 
Left for Kansas City at 10 P.M. via Mo. Pac.
