Cashed Jaime’s money order and it goes for things I want that I wouldn’t have otherwise bless him! Went to the glass factory and bought a blue glass virgin- Just a small one bit it suits me. On the way home I saw some monk – bookends that matched the monje I got for Christmas for $4.50 so I indulged and came home loaded

Jean went to Tepozlan at 7:10 with an excursion. I wait very impatiently for a telegram or some word that will tell me Arnold has crossed the border safely. I write as though he were a criminal or something but I don’t like it at all that Tony is going with them. I can’t see the necessity of it so I am worried! Wrote cards to Charlotte and Lenore, read, did everything but chew my fingers!

Have thought of Arnold all day wondering how they fared on the trip. I guess they got away because Arnold would have called me – He is to wire from the American side when they have crossed. Went with Jean on a dinky “troncito” to Tenayuca to see a pyramid. Enjoyed the trip and found the caretaker archaeologist there to be young and very good-looking. He came back with us on the caurion. A money order for $5 (17.85)Mexico City) was waiting for me from Jaime last night when I came up. Can’t decide why he sent it. Dad wrote he had had another attack of appendicitis! Wrote Dad, Ty-Ty and Diantha about Carsey and Me. Started one to Carsey.
