In the afternoon took electric car to Santa Anica, Oceanis, and Smier. Saw little of interest, and no one talking. Very few on the beach. On the pier fishing is the most popular past time. R.T. Hill called to see me but I missed him. Los Angeles, Tuesday Feb 8. Hill telephoned me before breakfast and another lady he called and we talked old times for a half hour. Then went out to Pasadena to get my mail. The book contracts had arrived, and in the afternoon returned them to Le here with my comments. Some parts I did not like, and one clause I rejected, namely that I would not write a similar book. The other clauses I left to Le here to accept or reject since they could do with the royalty.
