Two cards from Ty-Ty – one written Friday from Pecos (Jan 31st?) And one from Van Horn mailed Feb 4 getting here the same day! Don’t understand.  Dreamed last night of Carsey – probably means I won’t hear from him again!   Heard from Mexico City – the U! sending me information of accommodations under way to take care of foreign women students for $5.00 for the whole year!  That included board and room, tuition, books etc!  Sounds pretty good!

Here’s what else was happening 80-years-ago today:

Monopoly goes on sale for the first time.

Tomorrow’s Another Day” composed by Glenn Miller for the Dorsey Brothers Orchestra was recorded by  Decca Records.

David Copperfield (1935) PosterFound out Dwight sent me the bouquet in appreciation of my work with the chorus! Was I ever surprised! Took part of them to school.  Still no word from home. Plan to go to “David Copperfield” tonight – The show was very good! Rather longer than most but I’d never notice it if it hadn’t been that we had to see the first part later.  Came in just where he was going to meet his step-father – But contrary to everyone else, I didn’t shed a tear!  I went with Mary, Virginia, and Mrs. Burdette.
