Wednesday February 12th 1930
The Andersons met me at The Station last night
and Ida & I soon went to bed. Reached Chicago on
time and went directly to Ill Central station. Got our
breakfast. I telephoned Emma Herriott and Mabel
McDougall. Winnie came to visit while we were there.
Left at 12.30 on Panama Limited. The afternoon soon
passed. Had supper early and soon after went to bed.
Thursday February 13th 1930
Reached Laurel before eight oclock. Mary met us
with the children. Was out in the car most of the
afternoon. Went to the station to see about Pullman
on from Gulf Port. Wrote Mrs Falk. Evening at home.
Friday February 14th 1930
We took a ride and then went through both
The Episcopal and Presbyterian churches as well as a
Library. Were riding again in the afternoon. I got
my reservations to Jacksonville. Wrote Hattie.
Evening at home. Frederick showed pictures.
Saturday February 15th 1930
Mary took me over to Hattiesburg with Ida
and the boys along. It rained on us all the
way. I got on the train there and at Gulf Port
without getting wet. Had a pleasant days trip.
There was a man and wife near me that
I enjoyed getting acquainted with. Had supper in
The Diner. Went to bed. Rather early.
Wrote Ella Nagle while in Gulf Port to sent letter from  Emma Herriott.
