Rex got a letter from Ernest Baugh yesterday & he said he couldn't find us a room down there so we may not get to go to Fla. Ernest just has one room to his house & I don't think he wants Robert & I . He just wants Rex & Dock to come. Today is Rex birthday. He is 52 years old. I gave a him a shirt & Robert gave him a Book. I made him a cake also. Lin came this afternoon. Andrew & Louis Gipson came a few minutes also. I Read some tonight. Rex read some also. Rex read his new Book.

We washed today. Today has been a beautiful day. The sun is shining and is fairly warm. An awful nice wash day for a January day. Rex has been helping work on the telephone line today. Lawrence, Jean & Mrs. McClaren came tonight & we played Rook. Jean & I won more games than Rex & Lawrance. It really thrills us when we can win.
