Worked hard all day, however, and have the satisfaction of clearing off a no. of odd jobs. I've planned to go to town several Sats. but alwasy too busy to get to it; so I'm still without glue and several other things I'd like to have. Found a brown scorpion in my bath-r in the middle of the night which I dispatched with the walking cane I keep by the door. Didn't go to Woman's Meet- ing [Meeting]. Began on the piece to be read before the Womans' Union of Pittsburgh late this aft; wrote on it all eve till I got so sleepy I had to quit. Will try to finish in time tomorrow to get off on this wk's mail - but it must go tomorrow to catch the boat.
