party of us took lunch at the Forestry building we then seperated to take in the sights. Mary Briggs and I were together all afternoon. We met the others later and all went down "Pay Streak" the grounds are beautiful at night in fact lovely at any time. We went home at ten oclock. Wednesday August 18th 1909 Mary Lizzie and I went to the fair together. Emily had to work and the other girls had gone home. Lizzie was not well and after a day or sight seeing and supper in the grounds we went home before eight oclock. Mrs Art Robinson came to spend the evening with us. I talked with [Marnie?][Calbretson?] and are going over there tomorrow. Thursday August 19th 1909 The girls went sight seeing about the city and I over to [Calbertsons?] I found Lizzie Duncan there. I spent the day very pleasantly. [Marnie?] has a nice house and a very pleasant wife. About four oclock Emily telephoned they were going to her Mother Metcalfs for supper and I went over right away to go with them. We had a nice time. Mary Briggs had gone out to find some Ohio people. She packed up her things tonight to go away tomorrow.
