We stayed at "Prospect House" where we had a very comfortable room and a nice parlor. We had a view of the Falls by moonlight. They are much more beautiful than I thought when I saw them last summer. The view crossing Suspension Bridge was also very beautiful.

June 21st Wed. Left at 10 a.m. for New York. Had a wait of 2 hrs. in Buffalo where we employed our hire in driving around the city. The first place which we visited was the house of Icineration {Incineration?}. The Chapel were the service is held, after which all leave

arrived in New York at 10.p.m. We went to the Broadway rental Hotel where we were shown a room of the 2nd hal which looked out on the roof and felt as if it contained only {illegible}. We changed in one higher up but with a window facing the street
