Dominica #20 

was in Sinclair Lewis' "It Can't Happen Here" - it promises to be good.
After tea we did some sorting of duplicates and putting in albums. It is fun, but I'm afraid we'll run out of material before we get money with which to buy some more. I should hear from Wilfred again.

[[double underlined]] Sunday June 7, 1936 [[/double underlined]]
Up betimes. There is little or nothing to distinguish Sunday from any other day. Perhaps if we would go to church that would do the stunt. The day was just another one these very boring ones.

[[margin]] Monday. June 8 [[/margin]]  
A slightly rainy morning but when it stopped I went to the P.O. to mail 3 of Dicks theses - Watson, Ferrie & Snodgrass - and some letters. Then to the Dispensary to have some medicine made and to the library to kill time until I could go for the medicine. While in the library I read the adds for stamps in The Boy's Own [[strikethrough]] Magazine [[/strikethrough]] [[insertion]] Paper [[/insertion]] (B.O.P). Some of them sound interesting.
Wrote some letters in the afternoon and read. Felt a little tired so took it easy once again - constant procedure these days.
Radio is still poor. Can't hear what is said over Schenectady until 9:30, even tho' Dick changed the tubes.

Didn't see the sun to-day. It has rained most of the day and at times was a real downpour.
Did a little reading and sorting of stamps. Listened to the opening of the Rep. convention. Not so very exciting this first evening.

[[margin]] Wednesday June 10. [[/margin]]  Soon after breakfast Dick and I went to look at the Victoria Museum. The Assistant Librarian showed us around. They didnt have much of great interest. In fact the most interesting exhibit they have is the huge banyan tree in the grounds of the library & museum. We went into the library to get [[underlined]] a [[/underlined]] book and came away with 3. I found a Catalogue of Canarian Coleoptera for Dick and Breen's St Lucia for myself. Then I took one of the ordinary circulating books "Men Against Death" - which I had before. Neither the catalogue or Breen's St Lucia are supposed to circulate but we got the first because Dick was the first person to ask for it since it came from the British
