Walt came over to see Daddy when he came after me and decided to go home with us. Mary described the ring she wanted if I hadn’t already bought. And she said the one I gave her was just like it. Hope she really liked it. Waltl went to Milt’s to stay all night.

Wally met me after work and we shopped for rings for Mary. Today she is 16. Finally found a decent one at Rogers. They have to make it bigger so will I will get it for me tomorrow.
Finished the print blocks on my quilt And laid it all out and figured the color scheme. I’m afraid putting it together will be a mess.

Wally finally told me where his mother is. I think she’s treating him terrible.. She has $500 debts that she expects him to pay. So I see where if I ever thought of Wedding Bells they won’t ring for four or five years.
I read several letters she had written him.

Worked until about 1:00 and then daddy came up the steps and tapped on the window. So he got to see my office.
Went to Aunt May’s after grandma and then over to some place by Mount Gilead to pay for the Dalia’s that he bought last fall.

Got terrible sick about 11:00. Stuck it out in the office until 11:45 and then went to the restroom. Took 2 Seequit in hot water and by sheer willpower got up and went after some coffee. Slept until 1:00, went to work and worked all afternoon. Don’t feel so hot tonight or so bad either.
