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

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.
