A cool, cloudy Sunday morning. Write the
discussion of the Klein-Wick Bulletin. Had
after lunch at Hotel Mason in the Roof Garden.
In the afternoon had a long walk to the north
through the Parks along Sturgons Creek. Then took the
Arnoldo car south to an immense sky scraper
apartment house beside a nice little park. Then
walked back to hotel.
Monday, Feb 27-1928. St. Augustine,
By Bus at ten o'clock started for St. Augus-

since I was here before, and it is now a first class
tourist Town. The architecture is modernized
Spanish. Two very large hotels and many small
ones, besides the Indian "Rooms for rent." The
