9th – Rained. Ate dinner at home & went up to Mary’s. Got back home about 8:30. The darkest night I ever saw. Got a letter & a recommendation from Prof. Paul Price of Greenville Public School.

Jesse still doesn’t tell us that he needs the letter of recommendation for his travels. This might be the same reason why he met with Professor Pruitt the day before.

You can see Greenville Public School at this link on www.whatwasthere.com, but it can take a little bit to load, so give it some time or hit the refresh button. If it gives you too much trouble, you can enter Greenville, Missouri in the search box. While you are at it though, also look at the amazing pictures of Utica, Missouri, at the same site! Make sure you hit Google View on the image, and play with the fade bar!
