Another bright and beautiful day. Oh if it would only snow! Took another walk down R.R. track – met man carrying pack on back. Packed my suitcase–as I’m sure going to start for Fairbanks tomorrow. Walked and read. Dinner alone. Had an experience: a man who introduced himself as McGan or McCann (drunk) sat down at my table and began to talk. Gave me compliments etc. wants to give me letter of introduction to a Mrs. Biglow. Wanted to order beer for me. Asked how old I was and a lot of other foolish questions. I finished my dinner and left without paying any notice of him. To bed early.
