August 11, 1938 Thursday

P.P. Got Skeezix to take papers for a week. Worked at Doc’s and packed all day. At 7:30 left with Rev. Willys W. Smith for Deering Community Center. Arrived here at 8:30-9:00 with 2 girls from Keene who are coming also. It was dark before we got here—everything seemed foggy, black, and gray. It will be a nice place, though, I guess. I got room no. 1 of a cabin (2 beds in a little room), unpacked and prepared for bed. Everyone seems nice so far. We are in the woods and I can hear a brook not far away as I write by lantern-light.
