Professor Hamilton's Diary: May 23, 1935

He juggles obligations ; Dionne quints’ mother goes on strike; chain letters rivet Reading

Professor Hamilton managed to teach classes in the morning and evening and attend a business meeting of the history honor society he advises, even while taking Mary Elizabeth to the doctor again. He was so busy I wonder if he had a moment to look at his local paper, which was full of interesting news.

Paid subscribers can read on about a shooting in downtown Reading, the defiant Mrs. Dionne and the chain letter craze that had reached the city.
