Cool overcast autumn day. To college 9-8 [sic]; 11:12 A.M. and 1:30 to 2:30 P.M. Filled orders between classes in A.M. Deliveries in P.M. To Mission Study Class in evening with Ruth. Good class. Took bath. To bed 9:30 P.M.

It seems as though Ruth is now home and so probably working in the Schenectady schools as a music teacher. Stanford doesn't mention that, though. This is the first I've read of his "filling orders." I wonder what that consisted of?
It's interesting what Stanford leaves out in his daily accounts. He hardly ever expresses his thoughts or feelings on any subject, though he occasionally declares an experience to be "fine" or as in the above entry, "good" or (much more seldom) poor in some way. I wonder what was so significant about what he choose to record? Or perhaps he was just putting down what he most wanted to remember. I guess we'll never know.
