Travel from Biisk to Upper Uimon

Sina Fosdick — My Teachers: Meetings with the Roerichs

Next day, started later than planned. Mother disliked the driver, Edokoff, [and] said we will have trouble, begged us to drop him and take other horses, driver, and carriages. We did not listen to her, [but] her words as always were prophetic. We had a very dangerous trip throughout because of Edokoff.

Came late to Krasnyi Yar, could not find lodging for the night and had to go to a selo, Altayskoe, where there was a hut full of people; so N.K. and Maurice had to sit half the night with their elbows on the table, and the rest—Mother, George, and I, sat in the carriages. We began to see that Edokoff did not even know the road, [and] that his horses were poor.
