Unlucky day maybe but it has been nice so far!  In Comercia we visited the Normal 4 blocks away – Nine of us went in a Libre and had lots of fun. J.J. Jones III (!) and I walked back.  I’ve had more fun talking to him than anyone else in school. If I didn’t know Carsey I’d be tempted to fall for him even if he is a college student!  the 11 and 12 o’clock didn’t meet so I came home early – Wrote El Paso and Van Horn. My cold is worse today, better yesterday.

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

A Chinese machine gun nest in Shanghai. Note the German M35 used by the NRA soldiers.

The Battle of Shanghai began.
