[[preprinted]] 26 [[/preprinted]] St. Croix 26. [[margin]] XI-19-36 [[/margin]] Very little to record today. Shortly after breakfast an American destroyer passed going south. We learned that it carried Pres. Roosevelt to the Peace Conference in Buenos Aires. Spent the day reading, doing stamps with Ruth, and thinking about the outline. Made out a list of references to be consulted for it, - 59 from the few periodicals I have here. There are few important references, but numerous short notes. [[margin]] XI-20-36 [[/margin]] Another rather wasted day. Both yesterday and today have been somewhat threatening, but there's been little rain. Not enough for excuse! After tea Ruth and I went for a walk. We went along the main road and circled back to town by way of Concordia and Wheel of Fortune. It was little over 3 miles, took us an hour. Tried to catch something flying; no success. [[underlined]] Station 334. [[/underlined]] 1 mile southeast of Fredericksted; between Concordia and Wheel of Fortune Estates. 1 Carabid running on the road. At the house I found two small insects that were running with a column of ants. They look rather like roaches. Got some of the ants. Spent [[strikethrough]] t [[/strikethrough]] some time also on the drawing for our 1936 Christmas cards.

Got an answer from the Chief of Police in St. Thomas granting leave to import and ride the motor there for one day. Also got a letter from the [[Sh. S. I. ?]] with check for $1000. Went to Merwins' to pay lighterage bill, and to the P.O. to see if the Money Order from Dominica (refund of part of wheel tax) could be cashed here. It can't, so must be mailed to Washington. Miss Fleming is still ill. She won't follow the doctor's orders or take his medicine. Today she drove to Christiansted to see another doctor! A bishop arrived today, and was welcomed by a parade of school children and nuns. Beatty phoned, and we made arrangements to go out tomorrow for all day. [[margin]] XI-22-36 [[/margin]] Got up early but didn't get away till 8:30. Ruth helped get breakfast and a lunch. I rode across to meet Beatty at home - Constitution Hill. We then came back along the main road, turned off to north, and finally passed Mon Bijou, and arrived near Betsy's Jewel. [[underlined]] Station 335. [[/underlined]] Vicinity of Betsy's Jewel Estate, 1 1/2 miles north of Bethlehem Estate. [[margin]] A [[/margin]] 1 spider from web (male of same species as sta. 323, female).
