Jeffres day Fort Myers, Fla., Jan. 28 1935. Stray wind from NW shifting to N. and feting order at night. Death forecrows may fall down to freezing. Slight rain yesterday and mist rain at times this morning. In the morning walked W. down to Caloosahatchee about one mile to see the T.A. Edison mansion home. Has about ten acres crowded with all kinds of plants. The house can hardly be seen for the undergrowth. Not a beautiful place but entirely for its variety of plants. Also has arecas and agaves. In the afternoon walked east. This was along First street. Both walks the street was lined with areca palms. Have seen more kinds of plants here than anywhere else. Our hotel fills up at night with auto people.
