March 16, 1941, Sunday

Weather is nice for March early hours. The Sun is bright and clear, sending warm rays out over Land. Frank, Mary and I are up and work done by 9 A.M. Scripture reading James 4:14, 2 Cor. 9:6-8

Dad will be home by 1:15 P.M. He will be tired from his long journal of continuously going for 2 weeks traversing thousands of miles. Frank is coughing worse and feeling weak. My cold is better and not so troublesome.

At 11 A. M. the Wind rose higher and mightier in the North. A Storm is forecast for tonight and tomorrow. Dad arrived half hour late. He is tired and has a dreadful cold. He took the train at Alhambra, Calif. Friday night. He arrived at Clinton 1:45 P.M. He has traveled thousands of miles and saw the great Sights of many States.

Mary and Frank went to meet Dad at Clinton. The North Wind has blown at a high steady Gale most all day. Mildred sent a large Grip full of Grapefruit, Lemons and a Desk knife for opening of my letters and a Pen holder, also a large Kodak picture of her boys, Robin and Jerryl, that is an extra likeness of them. I am so well pleased with the Gifts. The fruit was raised in their yard at Rosemead, Calif. Dad visited George's family at Fresno, Calif. Saw all of them.

Grace brought Bobby to town to join the other boys who go to Oklahoma City Stock Show, March 17 to 22. I pray that he does as well there as at Fort Worth where he won 2 first prizes and 1 Champion.
