Page 71

Saturday January 23rd 1926
I went over to Ediths for my pen. Wrote to Hattie.
Got back to Otts office by six oclock. Maime came
in for us. Will Kee was with us. Supper down town.
Sunday January 24th 1926
We got a late start out to Emilys where we
stayed till nine in the evening. We visited. Had
two meals and listened to Radio. The new drive over
Cahuenga Pass finished. It was opened last night.
Monday January 25th 1926
I wrote to Lydia. Was late getting up. Soon after lunch
went to the city. I found Ott waiting for me at the
doctors office. She told me Mary Wilson had been
to see her. That John & Callie McCallister had been
here a week and Callie had died very suddenly
the night before. I went to The Undertakers. But they
had all gone to the depot. I went on down there.
Anna went home with her father. I then came to
the office. Maime came, we had supper and stopped
to see "Irish Luck." I had letters from Warner McCall,
Hattie and Gertrude Smith. What an eventful day. Wrote to Hattie.
Tuesday January 26th 1926
Wrote W B McCall. Left the home at ten oclock. Had
lunch in the city and out to Hollywood. Back at 7 PM.
Wrote to Lydia.
Wednesday January 27th 1926
I wrote to LeGrand and Cousin Jen in forenoon.
Went to the city. Later called on Ella Byers. Then
to the office. Maime came. We had supper near by and
then cleaned the office. I sat in the car. Late home.
