A.M. cleared out Studio and set out all the pictures we had picked out for framing—then called B out & we went over them. Two “fell” out almost at once—the one of the Sept. sun of last year, and the Songsparrow of this year. This leaves 13.
P.M. letter to F.R. [Frank Rehn]
At midafternoon Hank & Mart came in. They had been at the Thousand Islands, and then visited Sally & Red. (All is O.K. at the latter place.)
Hank & Mart down for the evening and we talked. Mart is pretty sure she is going to have a baby and has made an appointment with Dr. Potter for tomorrow.
