Apr. 20 – (Sun.) –
Leave 5:45 for Cleveland. Country beautiful. Weather very warm. Weeping willows in bloom –
Arrive Joe & Ruth’s 10:45 – “cold” lunch as her dinner is to be in evening.
Reception at school – many people – tiring –
... Dinner at Ruth’s (she invited Emma) – B & I, Louise – Louise brought “makings” of high-balls, which revived our weary spirits.
