Ty-Ty’s birthday – The family gave her a dozen cocktail glasses – In the evening her S.S. class came over with a news dress for her (navy blue silk) ad punch and cake. Everyone liked everything. Letter from Carsey written in the Regis. My cup of joy would be full to overflowing if Betty would decide to go to Mexico with me.
Dear Elizabeth,
This pen is terrible!
I arrived here this morning and inquired about summer school. As you probably already know, summer school will operate in the same manner as it did last year. The Mexican Council at Dallas said the same thing.
Lots of things have changed. The Regis has completely reformed it’s lobby so that one would not recognize it. The monument to the Revolutionary heroes has progressed noticeably and three big hotels are poking their noses in the air.
Had a very nice time coming down A singer was on the train and very anxious to have all the Mexicans sing. He led the whole car with much expression in some songs. They sang ‘Fanalito”, “Las Mananites”, and a bunch of others that I recognized.
Have a magazine in front of me showing droopy palms and a ship in the distance. It is called “El Nocturno en Acapulco”
Hay mas casas – but this pen is ghastly.
Yours,
Carsey

Jonathon came on 5:30 pm bus. He is taller and thinner but looks about the same. He is quite thrilled with DePauw and I am so glad! Dad and I had been over at the skating rink (Loma Vista) just before he came.

Went to Wylies for dinner. Much fried chicken – Rosa Lee came to our house until the noon train came in at 4:05! Virginia and Marjie Dove drove in from Billings, Montana on their way to Florida and Washington D.C. for the summer! Surely was pleasantly surprised. Virginia was D.P.U. graduate in ’31 and Marjie in ’32! Hadn’t seen them since my graduation in ’30! Met Mr. and Mrs. Dove, too.
