New Haven, Conn. Tuesday Dec 21 - 1937. On my way to Florida and Lakeland on the 11.57 P.M. A fine slightly clouded day, with a little snow last night, but cold. All in all the winter has been mild. Bought a round trip Ticket $68.60, saved $10.20. Ticket good for six months. On the Gulf Coast Limited to Atlantic Coast line. At Washington on time at 5.50 P.M. Left at 6.40. Retired before we got to Richmond. Much of the day I read for the second time Ostrom Cope's Master Naturalist. Reading it mostly to get at the Marsh- Cope controversy. Both jealous and am- bitious. Pullman not more than one-half oc- cupied, no upper taken.
