November 1 Saturday. Muskogee.
Bryan called me at 6.30 A.M. to say that One
Coy wanted to see at Tulsa and that he was on his way
to testify in a law suite in New Mexico. He boarded
the 7:30 train and came at Tulsa at 10.45. We met
McCoy at the Tulsa Hotel and dined with him until
1.45 P.M. I left Tulsa for Muskogee at 4 P.M.
in the Midland Valley and got to Muskogee at 7 P.M.
McCoy wanted to arrange plans for a new
trip, and after we had dined, I told him that the
weather and other things were against my doing desirable
work, and that I had better cut the trip short.
I then took McCoy to myself and finally told
him that I could not work out the problem simply
because Bryan had not done the work, or because
the weather did not permit me to see the localities
in succession so that I could understand the
faunas. Also told McCoy that Bryan was utterly
incapable of solving the faunal problem, because he
was not a county in which he could live. She has
no patience to think for fossils on a day's start.
Then
I said that Bryan did not do the localities
justice in making extensive collections. He looks a
few minutes and then goes to wander around
