(This is an entry from the journal entitled Mexico Summer written by Elizabeth Lancaster Carsey 80-years-ago. )

Letter from Dit telling of Harold’s accident.  Carsey,  Bob Tucker, Betty and I saw two plays given by a school dramatic club.  One Singe’s “Rider’s of the Sea” in English and Moliere’s “Precious Ridiculas”(?) in Spanish.   We got in late for the first one and could not understand all of it but the last one was well done and thoroughly enjoyable.

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

The second attempt to launch a a manned U.S. high-altitude balloon, Explorer II   proved a failure with the balloon rupturing at liftoff.

The price of gas is up and its very very hot.
