DESKAIDE * THE SILENT SECRETARY * 1942

JULY

TUESDAY
Fair. Awfully hot. In the morning I went
(Mother, too) to dentists + had 1
large cavity (above - on left) in
back) it hurt! I have to have more
filled later. Perhaps in Mass. He
is the same doctor who didn't
hurt before?!?! He will get in army soon (Dr. Richard Eamich). Then we came home + packed. I played with Bobbie some after packing + getting rabbit in mouse cage (medium) + cleaning out his
cage, feeding fish, etc. - my corn
will be ripe by the end of
the week (we are just too
late.) I picked 2 4-leaf clovers
in the yard - one for Mabel
+ one for me. The catbirds
(who have nest in our lilac bush)
have quite large babies now.
They are always scolding
the cat.
