In the afternoon took electric car to Santa
Anica, Oceanside, and Sanier. Saw little of
interest, and no one talking. My fear in the
beach. On the pier fishing is the most
popular past time.
R.T. Hill called to see me but I
avoided him.
Los Angeles, Tuesday Feb 8.
Hill telephoned me before breakfast and
about six he called and we talked old
times for a half hour.
Then went out to Pasadena to get my
mail. The book contracts had arrived, and in
the afternoon returned them to Le Mene with
my comments. Some parts I did not like, and
one clause I rejected, namely that I would not
write a similar book. The other clauses I left
to Le Mene to accept or reject since they
could tell write the royalties.
