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

I called Carsey’s house about 8:30 and the woman said Carsey had gone to Puebla and that Welham had a message for me!  I was to call again in an hour!  Wilhelm was so apologetic about not having told me that Carsey went to Puebla to have an operation for appendicitis! He wanted to tell me but for some reason Carsey wouldn’t let him or give him my “phone number”!  A great load has rolled off my mind but I am furious that Carsey shouldn’t tell me. Does he think I can’t take it or what!! Wilhelm said he thought I ought to know of it and I certainly agree!  Betty, James Cady and I went to Desert of the Lions and back by San Angel to see the natives dance for the festival of Santa Carmen – The Desert was beautiful but I kept thinking about Carsey and how he’d like it, nearly all morning – Saw “Roberta“again at night at the Bucareli Theatre – Stuffy old hole!

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