Tuesday, March 28, 1922

Very mild damp day with some rain in A.M. Arose 7:45 A.M. Cleaned up cellar, soot out of chimney etc. Got ready and shipped 100 empty egg cases to Trombley Bros. Supper. To College with Ruth Pettit to Minstrel Show. Very good. To bed 12 P.M.

**********
The minstrel show was no doubt put on by the college students. Some of the Union students claimed "minstrel show" as an extra-curricular activity in their yearbook entries. No indication if it was a black-face minstrel, but it probably was. Stanford actually expressed an opinion of this show!

I couldn't determine why Stanford was shipping empty egg cases to Trombley Brothers, but it must be that they got money back on them since they were not using them at the time, maybe because the season was over?

I hope Stanford was careful around that soot. It was a dangerous substance!
