Left Des Moines at 7.15AM on Rock Island rocket.  Had a nice ride into Chicago.  Met Wallace Kadderly on the B & O out of Chicago so the visit was nice & trip not so tedious.

Sept 21, 1938
Arr Washington at 8.25AM.  Clara met me at train & I went home.  Called office & found I wasn't needed particularly at the office so helped Clara June get organized & took her to 1.00PM train.  Came home & worked in yard all afternoon.  Had a terrible time with lawn mower but finally got lawn mowed after fashion & some of the grass out of the drive.
