[[preprinted]] 24 [[/preprinted]] [[margin]] Barbados [[/margin]] with Mr Jester - very good. While we were thus engaged a lady came in, from across the street, & told us that Johnstown Penn. & Pittsburgh were both in flood of over 10 ft. This was the most interesting news of the evening. We couldnt get Pittsburgh over the radio. [[underlined]] Thursday, March 19 1936 [[/underlined]] Went to town this morning. Did darning and nothing much but. In fact most of the day was wasted.

When he came home we had tea sent up to us. Miss Harford seems to be avoiding us as much as possible. We are all prepared for a "disgusto" as she has hinted more than once that she intends to make us "pay thru' the teeth". I have a feeling that when our first bill came we should have complained, as by our not so doing she most likely thinks she can charge us $25.00 a week instead of $100. a month. Either way it might have resulted in a row, but at least the matter would have cleared earlier. After tea we paid a few calls to
