Entry: October 6, 1927

We leave for New Hampshire in two days. I reread the article and decided to check out the story of the attack. For this, I have decided to employ James. He seems to be the type of person that is a slick fast talker and can get people to loose their lips a little better than others can. After several calls, I managed to dredge up the telephone number of Adrian Ferrell. It was him, his fiance, and several other friends that were attacked. The called turned out to reveal nothing new. We may need to go see them in person. I will hold off on that for now but maybe swing thru after the trip. Better get a map of Boston...
On a side note, I need to find out more about this little town. I think tomorrow I will swarm the library for everything I can find. Hopefully, Dr. Landford won't see me poking around in the historical document section. If Dr. Armitage does, maybe I will finally tell him what I think about him and his oppressive policies on shared knowledge.

Entry: October 1, 1927

I guess this is what I always wanted. Jack, the man that befriended me at the gun range has invited me to travel with him and his roommate, James. I do know James somewhat, as he is a student of mine. The problem is he has no willpower to focus on his education. My guess is that he spends 90 percent of his time enjoying himself and the young ladies he spends so much time with.

This lends to the fact that somehow the young Dr. Steve is coming with us. I believe they are up to no good but I can't confront Steve with this. As I have noted in the past, we share the same gym and he is an admirable fighter. My guess is that if I called him out on his questionable practices, I would receive the walloping of a lifetime. It would be very hard to read and teach with two swollen eyes and a broken nose.

Regardless, they are heading to Bethlehem, New Hampshire. I recalled a fascinating story I read in the Boston Globe about the abnormal behavior of the local crow population. It seems as though some young couples were attacked on the outskirts of town.

This trip is a great excuse of relieving myself of Dr. Armitage's incessant nagging about me conducting my research courses in the library.
