HENRY HOME AT 12:30 AM

---

Nasty cold East Wind

and cloudy.

Raining and sleet to-

night.

Henry and I went to see

Jen this A.M. She is in

bed now resting up in

preparation for an

operation in the near

future.

Henry went to G.R. on Right

of Way work.

A bunch of road men

were at Kaufman's playing

cards last night. Henry

home at 12:30.

Mrs. Claytor called this P.M.

and took by order for a

pair of every day shoes.

$9.22.

It may just be the way I read it, but it seems to me that Edna sometimes specifies things in her journal when she is amused, or alarmed, or maybe peeved. If she notes something that is rather ordinary, it comes without explanation.

In this entry, I think she may have been a bit peeved that Henry did not arrive home until 12:30 AM and that she may have been a bit shocked that a pair of every day shoes set her back $9.22.
