User-Contributed Transcription there until Wednesday, then down to DuCoign. Thursday noon started north with Mr Mason who came down on Wednesday, and started back with me on Thursday. That night we stopped at Vandalia with Mr Jones Eng. 3 Div. The next day Friday the last of the Track was laid on the 3 Div. thus making a connection through from Cairo North. Regular Trains will not commence through though until Jan. 8th Much of the 3 Div. Track is in bad order and needs considerable work to make it fit to run over safely. Mr Mason complimented my Second Division work considerable, at the expense of Mr Jones! Friday night we stopped at Decatur with Mr Plant. H.B. Plant Eng. 4th Div. I had never met Mr Plant before; He is quite a young man, really good looking; and I liked him considerably. Saturday we came here; via Bloomington, LaSalle, Meneola & Aurora. I may be fortunate enough to get away from here tomorrow night or Tuesday morning, but may not. This Forenoon I went to the Plymouth Church; and heard Mr Eggleston preach It was a sermon to Children on New Year's time, upon the Youth of Christ. I noticed Mr Broad whom you remember coming to DuQuoin as Chorister, & singing powerfully!
