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.
