HOT HOT. Betty worked for Blanche. I cooked, washed, cleaned up the house. Dolores here in a.m. In evening Blanche and I took Betty over to Auburn to see Mike’s mother. Betty was so much happier after she came home from there. She had heard his mother wasn’t going to let Mike marry. Billie busy all day.
