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.
