Saturday, 25 September 1937
Left Moscow early this morning in heavy rain. Had a lovely drive to to Chicago, a beautiful city. With a most wonderful drive at the Michigan Lakes and Avenues of trees, for about 15 miles, the most beautiful we have seen so far. Cars galore, and huge buildings. Like Chicago very much. Had to drive some distance out of town to get suitable accommodation, all had hot baths.
Jack & Floss went back to see the City lit up. I did not, as we had had a big day.
