July 3 - '91. I am at home but I will simply make note of our departure from Washington.
Of course the morning of the 30 " was a busy one for us. And we were already tired when we started on our journey. Freddie accompanied us to the depot and Mrs. Swift soon joined us. In the ladies room where we waited is the site of the murder of Garfield, a brass star fixed in the tiling in the floor marks the spot that his head struck when he fell. A beautiful marble piece and a [[?]]-box for the Garfield Hospital are above it. On the latter are the words: "I was sick and ye visited me."
With goodbyes and best wishes we left our Wash. friends and a day later joined our Fair. friends.
