Professor Hamilton's Diary: July 3, 1935

He orders coal for the winter; Part 3 of 'The President's Birthday Ball Affair'

Professor Hamilton wrote two cryptic remarks today. “Work on thesis. Went downtown & ordered coal.” While no one was thinking much of heating a house during the sultry summer, coal prices were lower then and Professor Hamilton was obviously planning ahead.

We move to Washington and the White House, then to New York and the Empire State Building with today’s episode of The President’s Birthday Ball Affair, Book 2 in the Missy LeHand Mystery series. (The five mysteries can be purchased in paperback or Kindle format.) Paid subscribers can read on! If you missed the first episodes and want to sign on now, you can catch up in my archives.
