I really did not do much. Read and wrote to Ida.
I got my things ready to come away at 5.20. Mr
Albers and Edith took me to the station. A quick
change at both Peoria and Rock Island. Was here at
12.30. My rooms were warm. Soon went to bed.
Friday December 16th 1927
Late getting up did some telephoning. Went up town
for things needed. Met Rob. Did some writing in
PM. This book and letters to Mattie Stitt, Mattie Fletcher,
and Lydia. Very cold. Hattie here for supper and we
went up town together. She went home in taxi. Read papers.

I was busy about the house in AM. Mary came to 
take me over to Ott and brought me home. Nice visit.
I stopped up town and got cards. Wrote Edith Whetstone and Henry Able.
Sunday December 18th 1927
Very cold. Ott took me to church. We took Hattie part
way home. I got my meals and put in the afternoon

I went to the PO with a lot of mail and
on up town to get more cards and other things.
