December 1, 1977 – Thursday - Alternative Considerations of ...

Started to do my personal chores. Couldn’t find some more items: my eyebrow tweezers,razor and the holder given to me by my dentist to hold a toothpick for dental care. I toldWanda. I searched my drawers carefully. We awoke Jossie and asked her about themissing items. Wanda went through her drawers but with no luck. Jossie denied takinganything, saying she had no use for any of the items.C.J. arrived to go over the McGraw-Hill letter. He brought letterhead paper. Wediscussed the wording and forms of the letter.After C.J.’s departure, Wanda and I continued to question Jossie about my missing items.She, obviously distressed, left but Wanda was not afraid she had left the building as shehadn’t taken her coat. I was worried, however, and after a while Wanda went to look forher. When Wanda returned after some time, she said Jossie had been talking withVernell Henderson. Vernell suggested I move my belongings to Estelle’s room and sleepthere.I continued with my personal chores. It was after 10:00.I had a snack and read until 11:30.I told Jossie intensely that I would like to see my things returned in the same manner asthey had disappeared.December 16, 1977 – FridayTime cards were due early today.Had to retype the McGraw-Hill book list because one tab was off on the column and Icouldn’t find a way to correct it.
