7th May, 1894

Also of dreadful night as no lights are allowed...

Eva Gore Booth

Writer, political activist & sister of Countess Markievic

Shopped & Fussed & started up the Mississippi in the city of St Louis.

Ship like a floating hotel. Moonlight and sunset on Mississippi beautiful.

Curious scene

Taking freight on board Barrels & sacks

Beetles & Ants “My Girl” mosquitos they do make me mad. Drive me to bed

I feel discomforted like the worker & no man passeth but insects do my Bed and Curtains a city of Refuge in.

Also of Dreadful night as no lights are allowed. If it wasn’t for want of light & air this would be definitely the dirtiest River I ever saw…

Went on shore. Get a move on or you’ll get left.
