Finished “The Fortress” and “Vanessa” by Hugh Walpole and enjoyed both. It is a little too much of one family’s history for three days tho’  A ready to call a halt.  Ate supper with Virginia Copenhaver. It rained so instead we sat and talked – Very nice time.  Bought M.Jo a trunk to be sent to Van Horn.  It has rained off and on for two days and nights.  What a blessing!
