WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23, 1941 I have been disappointed today that I didn't get to start house cleaning my kitchen. It has been raining today & too cold to paint the floor and have the room tore up. I cleaned the cloth closet & have done the general house work. Sis told me Chesley Daves was buried Monday. He dropped dead of heart trouble. We got our new radio batteriers today. I got a card from Aunt Jannie.
