Professor Hamilton focused on household chores today. “Did washing — my shirts & BVDs,” he wrote. After a dash downtown to do some errands, he read the newspaper and letters from both Margaret and Gwennie. He got his own dinner, washed dishes and ironed clothes, then wrote Margaret a letter. In the evening he read a book called Chaos in Mexico by Charles S. Macfarland. (Mexico seems to be a special interest of Professor Hamilton’s.) That night he drafted an article for the Evangelical Crusader, turning in at 11:30.

I have to giggle thinking of him ironing his shirts!
