Here is that account, which shows a similar attention to detail. The entire first page of the 3+ page account is taken up by his description of his and his wife's adventures driving from Chicago to Detroit, which is kind of charming, despite probably not being of much interest to most collectors.

Thanks for posting this. I enjoyed reading his descriptions of people and the auction results. Joe
