Monday, June 4, 1962

A wonderful day. Nice and sunny, not too hot, just so my clothes dried so good. I did my last big wash. I churned and made a cake. Bill down to Gordon’s after supper. I mailed another package to Betty, also a letter and her check came. I mailed it to her in Tacoma. Tacoma Washington. Also sent lighter letter to Esther.

Cloudy and showers. I made bread, pudding, baked a ham. I worked at my desk. A nice letter from Betty and Mike. It had a down beat all through it. I hope they are all right. A PHONE CALL FROM BETTY. Tonight about 10 PM. She is coming home. I knew by her letter she was worried.
