Working again on the Genesee St. Bldg. (This picture still lacks a little.)—The work went pretty well, but this is still a sort of confusion in the lower right hand side.

The morning glories are blooming profusely these mornings.                      

Letter from Golden’s Secretary that the picture had arrived safely and was to be used as a Christmas Greeting.

M. drives me to get car, which had the fender repaired.

Evening, as we were about to depart for a movie, Peter H. came to the door wanting to know if we owned a brown & white cat. (The idea of a brown & white cat intrigued me, but it turned out he meant a two-toned yellow cat). It had gotten into his pigeon coup somehow and killed a lot of squabs. I told him it belonged in the neighborhood west of us. (As we went by in our car, I saw him pull out of Hess’ and stop at Haven Millers).

The picture “Repeat Performance” (Joan Leslie—Louis Haywood)—a very tense picture, but well done.

On the way home we stopped at Mart & Hanks to see their new electric refrigerator.

Listened to the baseball broadcast at 10:30 in bed (Buffalo vs Syracuse at the latter place—B won 3-1.) Making up a little for the 14-1 defeat they suffered the night before).
