Charles E. Burchfield, Journals, October 7, 1949

Clear & warm –

A.M. making some small frames

P.M. B & I to Buffalo – B to get present for little Tommy – I to Coppins & market. Then to Niagara St. for studies. –  

In afternoon mail, letter from Dr. W that the Valpo show opens tomorrow. 

Evening – B to Mart’s, which H goes to Maine 

Put in call for M.A. – letters to Dr. K & Dr. W. & to Jim. M.A.’s call comes thru after B comes home. M.A. said she could not go to the opening. She said she was well. 

Walk to P.O. – a beautiful moonlit night – Take Pal to backyard – the moon east of the willow tree. The long row of poplars enclosing the area east of us, gave imparted a feeling of great dignity, as though it were some formal park. A solemn effect, I felt I ought to do something with it.
