Detroit is a dirty city and very cold the two days we were there. It is hard to find one's way about as the streets go in semi-circles but we saw Dodge Bros' plant where they employ 19,000 hands and put a car out every 50 seconds. The next day we saw Ford's plant where they employ 70,000 and put a lizzie in the freight cars every 15 seconds. They are both marvellous plants with wonderful systems.

Later that afternoon we sailed from the car city on the "Greater Detroit III" down the lake for Buffalo. It was a great trip and a great boat and arrived at 8.30 next morning.

A chap we had previously met on the train and who lived at Buffalo met us at the hotel and took us in his car to see Niagara 23 miles away. We went over the border into Canada and saw the falls from there and here words fail me. It is a sight of wonderful grandeur to see the tons and tons of water tearing over the top of the falls to fall hundreds of feet below and throw up a spray that hangs continually over the surroundings. We came back to Buffalo and were treated to lunch at the Buffalo Athletic Club. We spent the afternoon around the town missed seeing Jack Dempsey by half an hour at night and raced for the train to New York and arrived here at 7.50 next morning and this is the city of cities to date for us.
