These entries from Hughes’ 1934 daybook cover months during which he was in Reno; text corresponds to transcripts in the main Hughes in California & Nevada page that’s also replicated in this annotated Reno chronology.
“Jack Gilbert of Reno” makes his first appearance in Hughes’ notebooks on August 18. Hughes had previously socialized with “the Gilberts” in Carmel on two occasions, and Ted Gilbert will be one of his first contacts once he arrives in Reno.
