Uncle Fred & Aunt Mary stopped awhile. A nice, beautiful day, are rather all week, was wonderful. We took a drive out in the country, visited at Glenn Addie, Orphanage, & Scottfield, some wonderful places. This evening we went out to Nic Helfrich’s, see him about coal hauling, then went to Uncle Fred’s, played pinochle. Uncle had 1500 trumps.
