March 12, 1875 Friday Left Will's boarding place and made another application for a school. Called on Will's school again on my way back to Isadora. Took dinner at Isadora and then continued my journey down to my old boarding place, where I arrived shortly after dark. March 17, 1875 Monday Started for Maryville on foot and walked about two thirds of the way, when I overtook a wagon. Attended an Irish meeting and heard some lively speeches. Left town about 3 o'clock and rode about 5 miles in a wagon and walked the rest of the way back to my boarding place. Walked aboug 25 miles in all. Thomas Butler arrived shotrly after I got back and brought an extra horse for me to ride down home with him, starting the next day. March 29, 1875 Monday Thomas Butler and I started for my school in Iowa which I had secured from Mr. Seismiller. We drove a team with a spring wagon. Stopped at George Taylor's and took dinner. Arrived at Mrs. Wetherman's (my old boarding - place where I had left my trunk) shortly before sundown. March 30, 1875 Tuesday Continued my trip with my friend, going by my old route through Sweet Home on the divide between Platte and Grand rivers. Passed by Isadora on the way to Mr. Seismiller's two miles northeast of Mormontown. Arrived at our journey's end about sundown. We attended preaching in Mormontown in the evening. We left Mr. Seismiller's the next morning but got no farther than Isadora, as it rained. ++++++++++++++++ Lori
