A hot sultry day.
Hank & Mart return this morning – had been at Rochester.
Diddling in the studio – reading up & studying pictures.
Evening – the folks from E. Aurora. A pleasant time, with lots of “kidding” or badinage. Sometimes in the studio it became a bit thick, but it was meant in good fun.
Afterwards however I felt rather nervous & ill-humored.
