Sent a "passport" to Mr. Wilmer. Hopes he has received it. Rode from Danville to Henry Court House by stage. Stayed "in a fine large room in an old fashioned tavern built of logs." Is comfortable there as opposed to not being so in his other travels. Dined with an attorney Mr. Wootten, an old student at the college, and acquaintance. Wootten helping him with his business. Will resume his travels to Patrick and Franklin Counties before returning to Danville. Hopes to be reunited with Lucy before the end of next week. Has, happily, seen Mrs. Neel and Miss J.
