194 Monday November 16-1917 High N E winds - very -10 clear. Tank and Jerome entertained us with a song service this morning x Hal and Gaffdy- shao left after breakfast x [illegible] and Clem went with them x Hal is going to dig up a dead woman at Verbi - district I believe in Technical name in ghoulery x Then with G- puddy shao's help - so G. says - he will saw the lady in half and obtain a section of the cancer which put an end to her misery x The trouble was in the pelvic region and therefore require a difficult action of the frozen body x About noon Jerome and I headed for the Joy Foreman carrying our batch of bread and a news supply of books. Now that I am reading a - good deal of psychology and evolution combined with my explosive chemistry and other studies I find that the subject matter is too heavy for really rapid pro- gress. I am glad that for the supply of reading material must not give out before the time is up x I effect to spend more time on wireless and short hand prac- tice now that my sight reading has become exhausted leaving me with no division whatever x The Northwest wind is blowing about us tonight but we have a good tank of snow behind us as a protecting wall x
