Iowa Byington Reed diary, January 1, 1927-December 31, 1928

Page 36

Wednesday June 29th 1927
I came down in the truck. Then went up town
to do errands. Letters from Winnie & Laura. Wrote Lydia
and finished copying LeGrands letter. I took another
treatment for my feet. They hurt afterward. The
Byingtons took me home early with Hattie who had been to a luncheon.
Thursday June 30th 1927
It was frightfully hot. I did not expect to go down
town. Hattie had Fannie & The Shultz for the day.
Dorothy is here. I was glad to stay where I was today.
Friday July 1st 1927
Some cooler. I came to the rooms and was up town
a little while. It rained some. William took me over
to their house to spend the afternoon. They took
me over to Hatties before supper. She and I spent
the evening on the porch. A pleasant day.
Saturday July 2nd 1927
I came down town, was in Otts office and
the bank. I got things in order to go away Tuesday.
The Byingtons came for me. We had a happy day
with The Shultz family. Hattie went with The Byingtons
later to a picnic. I stopped at my rooms. Rob home
but away again. I went up by taxi. Spent evening alone.
Sunday July 3rd 1927
Hattie and I to S S and church by taxi. Had
lunch down town. Home by street car. Rob came and
later took us to Cedar Rapids to meet Cora. He
treated us all to supper before we came on home.
