September 4, 1883, Tuesday

At White Sulphur, WV
Clear, pleasant.  Left for the Sweet.  Train behind time.  Got to Alleghany at 9:30 A.M.  No stage.  Had to remain ther all day.  Came over abouth 6 P.M. in a carriage that had brought a sick lady from the Sweet.  Found children all well.  Thunderstorm and rain in the night.  The rain much needed as the dust was very bad.
