(This is entry from the journal entitled “Mexico Summer” written by Elizabeth Whipple Lancaster Carsey 80-years-ago)
Letter from Dit says Harold got a job in Silver City and she is leaving soon too. She has been packing all week and has been seeing the the Fair in San Diego. Tuesday I sent a special delivery registered letter to Santa Fe about my certificate. Surely am glad Harold could get a job so soon. His health was poor in California. Last night we had our S.S. Dinner at Edith Johnson’s – Mrs. Leroy Brown gave the lesson. Merle Terry and Rose McDowell were guest and future members. Mary Jo made $20 or $25 on commissions from Avon products! Congratulations on her! Monday night Bud Gaylord, Mary, Betty, Alyce Claire and I played Bridge and too in the Mexican Fiesta. I was supposed to have made a speech again but I never knew what the time for it was and it was evidently all over when we went at nine!
Here’s what else was happening 80-years-ago today:
Benito Mussolini rejected the League’s latest peace offering of Danakil and Ogaden, scoffing that he had been taken for “a collector of deserts.
Construction continues on the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Construction began in January 1933 and the bridge was opened in May 27, 1937.
