June 12, 1909. Saturday: Two rooms of a house are drawn; the upstairs, which has a mother (Mary), her husband (can't remember his name), and a child (Warren). Meanwhile, two people are downstairs, and they appear to be playing pool. The upstairs and downstairs rooms are clearly labelled, and ironically, are the easiest things to read besides the date and copyright information.

The new rooves are very nice
and please both Ernst and Molly.
For now he has a billiard room
and she, das Kind, by golly.

This is one of the few pages written entirely in pencil. Unfortunately, this means that it isn't very clear to read. From what little I can gather, Mary's family had the roof of their house redone and ordered a billiard/pool table, and either her husband or someone they know loves to play pool.—#rgerzevske
