of San Jose. He is a U.C. man 1915 and still more wonders an S.P.E. The way I found his fraternity [[strikethrough]] is [[/strikethrough]] [[insertion]] was thus - [[/insertion]] we were talking about Roy [[strikethrough]] Reigals ( [[/strikethrough]] Riegals and he asked me if I knew what fraternity Roy belonged to, and when I said S.P.E he was surprized no end, as he didnt even know they were frat brothers. What a small world!
We had a very pleasant evening, and it was too bad Dick had to go ^ [[insertion]] out with Danforth [[/insertion]] as he missed getting to know the Lee's better. They lived in Hawaii and the Philippines and had a lot to say about both. The Lees left before Dick came back.

Well this is Las Reyes and Mrs Oakley had given her maid the day off. Dick hadn't mentioned going out and when 7 o'clock came I didnt wake him up - net result was that Danforth came by for him before he was even out of bed. 
Mrs Oakley & I spent the [[strikethrough]] day [[/strikethrough]] [[insertion]] morning [[/insertion]] doing nothing much of anything but talk, and a little packing, as everything had to be ready to take the 1 o'clock train. 
After lunch Mr Oakley took us to the train and the rest of the day was spent getting home.

Yesterday was only a busy day and all for nothing as the "Kungsholm" left us in the learch to-day. She didn't come into San Juan because of rough seas outside the Harbour. However we were not notified & went down with baggage etc. only to be told the sad news. Dick tried to see various people but couldn't and Mr Gonzales ^ [[insertion]] man in Behn Bros. agency [[/insertion]] told him nothing could be done until the morning.
We came back to Olimpo Court and had dinner. If we get our money ^ [[insertion]] refunded [[/insertion]], we will try to take the plane on Wednesday.
In the afternoon we went to town for ice cream and coming home we took
