We have made good friends with the hotel [arrow to letter-head] keeper and his wife here and they have given us a great time during the last week.

On Sunday last they were taking their daughter (18) back to college about 75 miles from here and asked us to come along with them in their care, a big 6 Nash closed in coach [pictured]. It was the best corking bus I have yet had the pleasure to ride in.

We left Rochester about midday and went to their summer home on Lake Zumbro [Created in 1917-1919 by damming the Zumbro River for hydro-electricity] for lunch and what a lunch it was.

Cold chicken, duck, dressings, salads, cakes, scones, etc and then we continued our drive up towards Minneapolis and St Paul. We reached the college at 4 o'clock and attended an organ recital in the college chapel at 5 o'clock and then started back for home about 5.45pm and arrived about 8:10.

It was great trip we both thoroughly enjoyed as the leaves are now falling from the trees and the colours in the woods beggar description
