Hayle Mail Aug 11, 1914

The travel homeward continues very quiet but the steamers coming from England keep us more or less busy, although the few people coming in from the west report conditions in a chaotic state.

Michigan, although working at full blast is a very tough state for a beginner at present. The boys have been out of work so long up there on account of the strike that now they are working they intend to stick for a couple of years, whereas, if they had been working steadily there would always have been twenty to thirty quitting each week making positions for those boys coming in. I would advise boys who are thinking of coming to America if they have friends in the place they intend going to write them and find out what the conditions are like first.

The St Louis arrived Thursday morning after a very pleasant trip. There were about 20 Cornish on her. We arrived back at the Hotel about 10 o-clock and the “Boys” did not leave until three in the afternoon. We had several organ players among them, and our organ. I must say, was in fine order, also most of the voices of the “Boys”. We had a splendid programme for nearly three hours, as the fellows said “it was more interesting than going out to see the city. It was splendid especially when they sang “Lead Kindly light”. And Jesu Lover of my Soul”. Rendered to the Welsh tune. It has often caused me to wonder why every year two or three Welsh Choirs come to this country to tour. The Cornish have equally as good voices yet you never hear of a choir from Cornwall coming to America. The Welsh must make a success of it, or they would not repeat it every year.

Mr Richard George of Mullion, who is one of the staff, is still the checker champion of the hotel having defended the title during the last two weeks at least a dozen times. Best three in five games. He is getting a little “chesty” so I hope some good player will come along shortly and take it away from him. The reason I say this is partly from pique, he having beaten me very badly on three different occasions.
