Clever letter from Lenore. I’m lazy. I should study but I can’t get myself going for some reason or other.  I have so much to tell Arnold and it is so hard to write all of it in a letter.

to see them just going to lunch. Walked on downtown and looked for a good show- Found “Good Earth “La Madre Tierra” and it was

excellent. At 7:30 we went back to the Hotel to find Tony apprehended again.  But he soon came back. They, all five of them, plan to leave at 5 tomorrow. Carsey brought me home and I doped his incipient cold. He wants to marry me – right away – and I am so happy and thrilled that I’m not right sensible. I wish we could marry next month, but I don’t like to with the debts I have at the bank.  If it weren’t for that I might be Ms. Carsey right now!  And proud of it!

Thought I’d leave for Laredo at 8:30 am but as the 4:45 made better connections I just waited. Met Frances Neville, also Mex bound, so we walked over town together – Visited Joske’s Store – Sat in the Gunter Lounge and listened to an orchestra broadcast luncheon music. Very good – Got the 4:45 and met two people there. Vincent Rousseau from North Carolina and  Jean Crawford from Colorado Springs. We went all the way together. The trip would have been terrible without their company. They scenery is boring! So different from the beautiful green around San Antonio!

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

 

British Prime Minister Neville ChamberlainNeville Chamberlain made his first major foreign policy speech in the House of Commons, in which he asked influential members of British society to exercise caution when talking about Germany’s policy toward Spain to avoid a larger European war. “I have read that in the high mountains there are sometimes conditions to be found when an incautious move or even a sudden loud exclamation may start an avalanche”, Chamberlain said. “That is just the condition in which we are finding ourselves to-day. I believe, although the snow may be perilously poised it has not yet begun to move, and if we can all exercise caution, patience and self-restraint we may yet be able to save the peace of Europe.”
