Fair clear bright day but windy. Arose 7:30 A.M. Breakfast. Helped father. Studied chemistry. Played piano. Read paper etc. Wrote letters. Hanford upon day boat from Asbury Park. Home 8 P.M. H.H. looking fine. Just the same in weight. Talked etc. To bed 11 P.M. Thankful for protection.

I'm guessing it would take more than a day to go from Asbury Park to Schenectady by boat, so it's possible Hanford traveled by train to Albany, then took a boat from there by way of the Erie Canal. The picture Stanford drew looks like what could be a steamboat but it's not clear what the dark object on the right is supposed to be.
I guess Hanford's weight was an issue? Maybe he had trouble keeping weight on. That's the second reference Stanford made to it since Hanford left for the summer.
Here is a map of the Erie Canal route as it looked in 1920:
And a postcard of the canal and General Electric right beside it.
