Saturday May 18th 1935
Up early and trimmed grass with scissors around trees, bushes, flower beds. Made them look lots better.
After Daddy and Mary came from garden we took weiners and bacon and cheese along Scioto north of prospect for our supper. Then on road East of there and got some wild flowers to transplant. Home and so to bed.

Quite profitable, typing chain letters. Got some chocolate bars and a coke out of it. Bill has one now where the return is 24 1/2 pints of whiskey.
Walt came to the bus station to see me off. Brought a box of candy. We’ve been going together two years today. Bus man didn’t want to take my ticket I use it going the same way twice.
Things growing at home.

Well Bill finally hit on a dime Chain Letter. It’s about played out now. The idea is you send a dime to the top name, cross it off, add your own at the bottom and as it works up you’ll get $1,759.30 if everybody keeps it going. But there aren’t enough people.
Got two pair of hose and some panties at the Boston Store this evening.
Been drawing landscape and flowers this evening

Wednesday May 15th 1935
Wally they met me at Godman’s with a rose to commemorate two years together.
In the evening we went to the band concert at Mirror Lake, on the campus. Stopped at a White Castle for hamburgers.
After we got home a fuse blew out. So instead of fixing it Davis’s said they’ll call the electric in the morning. That’s what they were paid for. So I went to bed in the dark.

Tuesday May 14th 1935
Stopped at the Clear Silk shop tonight to get some hose. I never saw such slow clerks and they didn’t wait on customers by turn so I walked out.
Had an early bath and went to bed.
This morning when I opened my glasses case one lens was broken. I dropped them last night and I suppose that did it. Goodbye $5.

Monday May 13th 1935
Surely did rain as we were coming into Columbus this morning. Representative Thomas rode down with Mr. Shelton too.
Mrs. Davis had the house all torn up so Wally and I went to see “Ruggles of Red Gap” -Charles Laughton as English butler transported to Western U.S.
Wally is on track of a job. Hope the poor kid gets it.

Sunday May 12th 1935
Got up at 9 so missed Sunday school. Aunt May’s came about 11:30. Mother had a nice dinner. Rained terribly about 1:00.
Uncle Allen’s stopped in late.
Went to church with Mother and Daddy. Didn’t see any of the gang. Daddy cracked nuts for me before we went to bed

Saturday May 11th 1935
Got a pair of overalls at Kleinmeiers -plenty big for shrinkage. When Daddy saw them he said “Let me put them on” and they were too big for him! So I gave him those and bought a smaller pair. Worked in the gardens with Daddy and Mary got a swell sunburn. About 75% of the dahlias he planted last Saturday were rotted. Our corn is up

Friday May 10th 1935
Wally met me at Godman’s to take me to the bus. Brought flowers and a Sunday star. Saw Sarah M. Hurd at bus station in Marion. Katherine Harvey came over in the evening to borrow my typewriter and stayed until 10:30. Sewed a little on my pink dress.
