Houston, Feb 26 1926 Left Austin last night at 10.40 and got here at 7 A.M. Put up at Rice Hotel. Had a good night in the Pullman. Then called on De Wolf of the Humphreys Oil Co and arranged for this evening talk. Spent most of the time with Mr Leasha. Next called on R. F. Baker and was with him to the University Club for lunch. Then called on Wallace Pratt but he was in court. Tried to see Mr Deurzen and Min Lane but they had moved to another building that I could not locate. Min Elvior was at home with a cold, and as Mrs Afflin has quit all paleontological office work I saw but little of the paleontologists here. Mr Knickus place in the Texas Co. is now taken by Mr Miller of Kentucky who got his sub- surface paleontology from Ballaway at Columbia. He acts as if he is by race means the bad part man or person in Texas here in Houston. At 3 P.M. went with Mr Vetter to the Houston Club to arrange for a stand to hold my 18 maps to illustrate my talk on Texas Shore Lines.
