Washington D.C.
April, 22, 1939

Started for Grand Canyon at 4:15 PM, B&O, to meet the Wendell Chapmans at Williams.

Warm and lovely with grass and flowers, green leaves and blue sky on all sides and fleecy white ships sailing through the blue, a perfect spring day.

In Washington leaves half grown on maple, tulip trees, hickory and buckeye. Double Japanese cherries in full bloom, lilac, and red but out. Elms green with nearly ripe seeds
Squirrels eating red elm seeds and maple seeds of early kinds.
