The following files are the logs taken by J. Harry Cutts on our second trip on the English canals. This time Margaret Cutts and Mary Anderson accompanied the fellows. The journals starts with our return from the first trip and follows the planning and travels from Columbia, MO, USA to Burton on Trent, England. They then follows our adventures along the canals and on to Welwynn Garden City. Mary and James III return to Columbia as Harry and Margaret have another three weeks of adventures in England. As these later weeks are not about canaling, they are not included here.
