Mary came at 8:30 and we left for Akron about 8:45. About a 2-hour drive to the Perkins Mansion on Copley road. Margot Jackson and Dorothy Biggs so friendly and gave us a wonderful tour of the mansion and gift shop. Summit County Historical Society offices above orientation rooms.
Went to Grace School for lunch. Has been converted to an antique mall- had quiche and French silk pie. The Bookseller just across Exchange Street and Frank Klein the proprietor is a friend of Margot’s. Took the 1907 Marion County History for an estimate on rebinding. Bought “The President’s Daughter” and “The Strange Death of President Harding”. Frank gave me a book by Cuneo with a sketch of Harding. Wants Herb Gary to verify it. Sold him a 1979 Marion County history for $20. Margot gave me a copy of “At Home on the Hill”, “Cuyahoga Valley Tales” and “The Miller, the Quaker and The ___”, all written by her husband. Doris had nice supper for us.
