I called Carsey’s house about 8:30 and the woman said Carsey had gone to Puebla and that Welham had a message for me!  I was to call again in an hour!  Wilhelm was so apologetic about not having told me that Carsey went to Puebla to have an operation for appendicitis! He wanted to tell me but for some reason Carsey wouldn’t let him or give him my “phone number”!  A great load has rolled off my mind but I am furious that Carsey shouldn’t tell me. Does he think I can’t take it or what!! Wilhelm said he thought I ought to know of it and I certainly agree!  Betty, James Cady and I went to Desert of the Lions and back by San Angel to see the natives dance for the festival of Santa Carmen – The Desert was beautiful but I kept thinking about Carsey and how he’d like it, nearly all morning – Saw “Roberta“again at night at the Bucareli Theatre – Stuffy old hole!

After dancing class James Cady brought Joe Turkel to school.  He is in School of Engineering, an exchange student from Albuquerque – James, Betty, and I started to the glass factory but as it took ses too long to find out about it, we went instead to Coyoacan – Nice place.

Came back about 8- Ate supper at the Cafe “La Blanca”and went to the Palace of Fine Arts to a find symphony program.  We sat in the second balcony, the first is pure boxes.  The building is even prettier at night all lighted up, than in the daytime.

I can’t understand why I haven’t heard from Carsey unless he went to Tabasco as did some Aus. fellows from the school. He was to call again Tuesday night and never did.  Surely nothing that I said made him mad.  He isn’t usually so thoughtless!

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

Six deputies were escorting Rubin Stacy to Dade County jail in Miami , when he was taken by a white mob and hanged by the side of the home of Marion Jones, the woman who had made the original complaint against him.
