Letter from Eamon of Spiddal Galway Eire saying he’d like information about U.S. & his opportunities here. Since it had been delayed because it was overnight that it should be answered immediately. Took all afternoon but I found it interesting.

Received material to do survey but won’t have a chance until Friday.

Wed. Made corsages for Y’s Mens banquet. 40 of them. Wally helped me decorate the room. Made 9 boquets for the tables. Charged them $35.
