Emmett Hunt's Diary entry May 14, 1890

Just the same and reminds me that the heavy underclothing must go --- peacefully if, it will, forcibly it must.  Still the pipe fitting is not done but will be by tomorrow night.Out handrails complete and thoroughly braced - our excusion seats complete - painting almost done and soon we reach that glorious time when these 10 hour days cease and we get abundant opportunity work as long as there is anything to do --how I long for it -- how I dole to work 7 days in a week and 20 hours day.  Yetthere are times when "things are not what they seem" and we must expect to make some sacrifices etc. etc. etc. etc.
