Didn’t expect Mary Longacre to pick Dave up until 9 to go to work at Hemmerly’s but she was here at 8 – So I took him in at 10 – got gas $1.159, picked up $100 check from MCHS at Irma Campbells & admired her C’mas ornaments. Took check to Elizabeth James to buy Marion County Histories for the Society. Also got her original 1883 for $72.50 to sell to Sickel in Texas. Chatted with her about her husband’s Issler ancestors who came also from near Maulbron. To Gloria Marshall for ½ hr. Tried to buy watch for Mother – large numerals – didn’t have it. Home to wrap presents.
