Harrys came from Springfield before supper time and [illeg?]
she walked with me over to Lizzie Duncans where I staid at night.

I spent the forenoon with Lizzie. we went over to see
Mattie and Irene who are staying at Jennie Culbertsons
while she is in Peoria with her Mother at the hospital.
After dinner I went back over to Venes and packed
my things. Laura had been ready and we left there
at 5:24 and reached Iowa City before 12 oclock. we
went to the Buckle to stay the rest of the night.

We had out breaskfast at 7:30 and I came home
at 8:30. Laura went up to see about her work at
S. V. J. and was ready to come out at noon. I did
a little work about the house after dinner. We had our
first new potatoes from the garden today. Laura and I 
spent the evening with Fannie. Ott & LeGrand started
to Idaho Sunday morning. The other folks are in Boulder.
Wednesday June 19th 1912.
I did cake baking and got the dinner. I took a sleep in
the afternoon and we looked over some pictures of
Lauras. Will went to town after supper and Laura and I
took a walk down in Coralville and stopped at Ed Kams
to talk with his sister awhile.
