Boy! This heat takes everything out of you - went on Pequot...no luck. Met Mrs. Newlin - from Kansas - she had a fair knowledge of coming forth of Mormonism - can't read so wouldn't take B.M. Sure a lot of people down at beach - it looks like a Carnival - all the umbrellas. Walking in the air is stifling! Went out Waterfowl way...on Willets. had a couple meetings. Met one lady...she listened...don't know if she understood all...C.B. Eve though - "New London's a ghost town". Met Mr. W James Evans from Wales! Elder Evans folks came from there too. Went to call on the Richie family - not home - stopped at Sis. Smith's for a few min. then went to Nichols'. Spike will show us how to get out to Maguar's Sat. Watched T.V. & got home late. Judy and Spike got in a pillow fight...I died laughing.

It's 9:00 & we just got breakfast over with - I've been reading up on the U.S.U. catalogue & guess I'll write to Eddie & Wendell - Wrote also to folks - talking about getting a sleeping bag to sleep in on the way...sounds like a pretty good idea - but maybe it would be better to get a Motel - Hotel room - & have a place to clean up. Elder E. mapped the trip approx. 2511 mi to Sugar City - going through the North. Route - Dakota badlands & Yellowstone Pk. about 4 1/2 days. We took the books to the Vet. Library this aft. & went riding - ended up clear down in Apponoug! Got nice letter from Sis. Bender - she went down to Penn. for an interview - hopes she gets something. We haven't done a thing today - I feel a lot better though. Went to a show - home late again - stopped & got a or. of pants - Broadway Raill
