<\/a>James Roger Diary<\/h2>\n\n\n\nNovember 1<\/strong>1, 1908 (Wednesday)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nDrizzly misty day, wind E to NE. Some smart showers. David on roads down town all day. Some of the teams laid off tonight. Got pc and letter from Hamish today. His hours are to be 1pm to 11 pm. His lodgings are 45 Matoon St. Mr. Scripture has been very kind in recommending him highly and in every way trying to his best for him. Diphtheria cases in Greenville, Temple 1. W.R.C. have supper and dance down town Temple. Put fertilizer on Kimball and Miller lots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
William Jurian Kaula Diary<\/h2>\n\n\n\nNovember 11, 1897<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
I will not get to work in the school until next week and shall spend the rest of the week in shopping and arranging our abode – I went across the city over the river last evening with Miss Lufkin and Miss Shuttleworth to visit an Englishman named Corey. Corey is a little man and a real nice fellow “you know” and his idea of entertaining us was to give us as much chartreuse and tea as we could stand. Mr. Corey is in the coal business – an English firm which ships that product to all the British Colonies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cartwright and I were invited to dine at Miss Lufkin’s studio this evening. We had a dinner such as would make most of the art students in Paris just green with envy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
