Charles E. Burchfield (1893-1967)

At John Mary’s store at Aurora & Clinton, I found a phone. I started walking westward on Clinton. Knowing now that Bertha would come soon, I did not feel so tired, and began again to enjoy intensely the day, & the country, since it would soon be at an end. I threw back my head, and looked high into the western sky, feeling a pride & joy in my existence.; I met Bertha at the Blossom Road.; ; Home, and bath, and into bed to rest – my face burned delightfully against the pillow.______; Late P.M. all of us to see Chas Boyer & Irene Dunn (sic) in “Love Affair” This was the children’s party, and had it not been for them, we would have missed a fine movie, for I never would have gone to see it, but for their insistence. It left nothing to be desired in the way of acting or directing.___March 30, 1939(Thurs).; In the morning mail, a type-written analysis of our insurance problem from Mr. Jordan. I write a long letter to F.R. about it.; Tho it is raining hard, B & I to Buffalo in P.M. to shop, and then to see return engagement of “Scarlet Pimpernel” at the Mercury. We enjoyed it fully as much as the first time.
