Cincinnati Ohio, April 4-5-1930
Got to Cincinnati, Ohio, at the Grand Central
Station on time at 10:30 P.M. Eastern Standard Time.
Brittin Albart was at the station with his car to take
me up to Arondale.
Sunday April 5 was a day of talk and meals
with Albert's family and sister Emma. A cool day.
Took a little walk in the afternoon at Aron-
dale. At ten P.M. Emma went home.
Cincinnati April 6 - 1930. Monday
Monday a cold windy day down in the 40's F.
Walked around the city a little. Had lunch at the
Sifton Hotel. Spent two hours at the Cen. Art.
Museum and found it greatly improved. Now they
have the Mrs Emery Collection of paintings, all
by first class classical artists of the nineteenth and
eleventh centuries. The city is to be congratulated on its
splendid art gallery and shown in the best modern
manner. They have a portrait of George Washington by
Rembrandt Peale, and another small pastel.
Spent the rest of the day at the Public Library, looking
up the Cen. Acton - Meersdick - of my boyhood days.
Met Albert and Alice at 5:30 at the Sifton store
to go in their car to Emmas home for dinner.
