July 9, 1938 Saturday

P.P. Collected. Went to Beedle’s Music Store and by chance found Mr. Beedle there. Gave him a check for $35 and became the proud possessor of a genuine French horn. In p.m. cleaned and polished old horn and fixed up my new one. Went to Sherm Reed’s and played badminton on his court. Practiced, of course, on F. horn. It has a very small mouth piece and is much more difficult to play than my mellophone.
