August 2, 1912 - Friday

2. Went in bathing and swam to + from the float or raft twice and from the end of the pier twice. Met two very nice girls named Priscilla and Marion. I don’t remember either of their last names. They are slick swimmers. Stayed with them in the water till 12³⁰. Went with Olive (whose last name, by the way, is Covbly, not Cobby), Grace and Katherine to the dance hall. It is a very nice place and no objectionable people go there. Muz and some ladies from the house came later. I danced nearly all the dances with Muz. Somehow the music made me remember my grad. Dance and the fun I had at it and I almost cried. I was so homesick for Hartford. It’s funny how the memory of good times always makes you feel blue, but it’s so!! Oh! I forgot. I answered Dan’s letter and I’ve just been thinking I might have been rather too hasty in my remarks about Don’s postal from me. Come to think of it I left a space in the address until I could find the name of the place he worked, to which I intended to send the card; buy you know the saying in regard to the “best-laid plans of mice and men” Muz found it and addressed it to “Asylum Ave. – Near Sigourney St.” and it may not have reached him.
