Most of the Carpenters are of a quiet, unassuming, uncomplaining disposition - always ready to support any good work.

Interesting to note a common virtue among the men in the family - always showing kindness and thoughtful concern to their companions and children.

Bertha came over today. She has been in Mesa since the 9th. She had her eyes examined. The doctor said she had a bubble on the retina. He sent her to a specialist here in Phoenix.

Took Bertha to the eye specialist today. Now she has to have pictures taken of her eyes to see if it can be treated.

Took Bertha to have the pictures made of her eyes. It will be a week before she gets the results.

We had a real fog this morning. Could hardly see across the street. By noon it had lifted and Bertha went to Mesa and will leave for Thatcher in the morning.
