Monday, February 23, 1931 Washington's birthday holiday observed today. All banks and business houses closed. We closed all day and I did not go near the office. Slept late and Tessie served breakfast in the sun room. The sunshine was lovely (so was her breakfast). I read the morning paper then prepared my Rotary speach to be given at Easthampton, Mass. Rotary Club tomorrow night. Tessie wrote her criticisms of the Yale Drama School play "Lottie Gathers No Moss" that we saw Friday night and we drove in town and turned it in to the drama school office. We stopped at Violette's on the way home and took her some of the lovely grapefruit that our friend Paul Gilbert sent us from Florida. The weather today has been beautiful, bright sunshine all day long. Father Peck would have been ninety years old had he lived till today.
