Sunday December 15th 1929
Slept late. William came and took me to church.
The Byingtons brought me home. The congregational
meeting after service voted to let Mr Rhind go to
a new field. I am so sorry to have them go away.
I wrote letters all afternoon. Made out list in evening.

I went up town in forenoon to get things to send to
Creswell Oregon. I found some things for Mrs Falk. I
worked on tatting in afternoon and wrote on cards.
