Decoration Day. Uncle John and I went to the ballgame at Delmar Garden this afternoon on the street car. We went to the court house first. It certainly is a fine building. The ballgame was between Okla. City and Dalles [sic] Texas. The score was 20 to 10 in favor of "us". We went through Delmar Garden after the ballgame I saw Mr. Zwick at the ballgame. He is a friend of Uncle John. We went i the drugstore and had a pineapple sherbet while waiting for a car to go home. I got a letter from Bernice to-day.
