Page 182

Wednesday November 8 1911  We got up early.  I was ready to go at 7.15 oclock.  Will took me down to The Coralville station.  A pleasant ride to Chicago where Ida met me at 2.30.  The rest of the day spent pleasantly with them at their home 7552 Gates Ave   Thursday November 9 1911   We all went over to La Grange for a visit with [Lorie?] [Bremer?].  It took 4 hours to make the trip which was to me very interesting.  We were tired and went to bed early.   Friday November 10 1911   Ida & I went up to John O. Neils on 55th St where I got us a nice traveling bag.  Met his wife there.  Ida went home from The Jackson Park Station and I on to [Engleward?] where I took the train at 10.44 for South Bend  I found Winnie all right.  We spent the afternoon in looking over that City & [Mishonoka?].  Called on Lorna & family and went to a play in the evening.  Weather pleasant.   Saturday November 11 1911  We visited at home all forenoon.  I went back to Chicago at 1.20 got out to Nellies by four oclock.  A warm day and a terrible rain and wind storm early in the evening.  A letter from Will.
