Page 2

Thursday January 1st 1920
I wrote a letter to Hattie and mailed it on 
the way over to Duncans where I went to dinner and 
spent the day with other company. Martie went home 
this morning. It was a bright cold day. I walked 
home between sun-down and dark Thinking of Will all 
the way. Vene not very well. The girls busy with the work. 
Friday January 2nd 1920 
There was a cold wind today and I did not attempt to 
go out. I did quite a lot on crotchet work. A letter from 
Rob, Joe Woolf and Alice Condon. Vene better. The girls busy.
Saturday January 3rd, 1920
I was at home all day. I worked on the bed-spread 
what time I had. A letter from Hattie and Cousin Jen 
saying it would be convenient for me to visit them.
Sophia Woolf here in the afternoon. 
Sunday January 4th, 1920. 
It was cold today but the folks company came from 
near Armington. The Alexanders and Darnells. I wrote 
to Hattie, Cousin Jen, Alice Condon and Cal F Eggleston 
Monday January 5th, 1920.
This is Mothers birth-day Very cold. The girls both in 
school again. I crotcheted some and wrote to Warner McCall & 
[Sam?] Hensler I had a letter from May and from Ott.
He told me and I see in The Press that Dr Lorna Bronson 
died in Oklahoma City on New Years day.
