Marvelous hot bright day. Arose 9 A.M. To church and S.S. Family + D.S.R. to see Uncle Charlie* at Love's home. Ate picnic dinner along Mariaville lake. *In pretty bad shape. Nice visit and ride. To E.L. Ruth, Merlin, D.S.R. and I to Reynolds'. Eats. Good time. To bed 12 BELLS. SKEET [picture of creature]
**********
Apparently Stanford believes Uncle Charlie to be in "pretty bad shape." Perhaps he is close to death at this point. I'm not sure what the drawing labeled "SKEET" is meant to depict (see picture of diary page, below), but John suggests it's a mosquito, perhaps one that plagued them at the lake.
In an earlier entry, March 25, Stanford tells us that Uncle Charles and Maud Love came to their house for dinner. It seems that Uncle Charles lived with the Loves. I'm still not sure who they are, however.
