"Box 118, Lancaster, Pa. Sept. 11, 1909. Dear John, was glad to hear from you. You fortunately have a sturdy physique and do not need a cacation. The early part of this week I paid a short visit to my friend in Baltimore. Went down by way of Columbia and York. Say a little of the latter town for first time. The road from there to Baltimore was the "crookedest" I have ridden on. Came back from Perryville along the Susquehanna to Columbia. The scenery was fine - high hills on both sides all the way. The river is often a mile wide. Grotesque rocks everywhere. If it were only navigable it would be alive with tourists. Write again. We return Sept. 18 Yours E. Z. D."
