Charles E. Burchfield, Journals, December 15, 1940

A.M. all of us to church –

P.M. writing letters to Saint-Gaudens – Daniel Catten Rich, Louise, and Carl Schaefer.

At twilight – [Arthur] & I for walk to Union Rd. Bridge over Penna. R.R. –

Long dark bars of clouds over the clean watery south west sky – the roadhouse sending up puffs of white smoke, interspersed with the brilliant stars of electric lights.  [Arthur] said he liked the road house lit up, it reminded him of the N.Y. World’s Fair.

We stayed on the bridge watching the engines shifting back & forth until we got too cold to stand still any longer.
