Friday August 20th 1909 I went to the depot with Mary Briggs she got on the train at 8.30. I then went up to [Marnie?] Culbertsons for some papers I left there yesterday. Then back near the fair grounds to call on [Mamie?] Appleton from [Delaware?]. at noon I get back to "The Oxford" Lizzie soon came in and we went a long ways to her sisters (Mrs Robinson) She got us some dinner and we all went down town again. Got home for supper and to spend the evening. Saturday August 21st 1909 Lizzie and I went to the depot expecting to go home but left our baggage there and went back to the fair grounds and to see Emily again. We did not leave Seattle till 4.30 and got home at 7.30. Scott was there and we soon had some supper ready and after a little while went to bed. It has been a great pleasure and privilege to see the fair. I found letters here from home. [Lee? Eserd?] has been sick. Fannie is has home. Sunday August 22nd 1909 It was late when we got up. Lizzie was busy with her work and I did some writing It rained a little so we did not go out [any?]. Effie and Dorothy were with us most of the day. I was reading an interesting book part of the time.
