A beautiful forenoon. I walked down to Andersons
to call. Then to see another Mrs Cooper. Both places
had a nice visit. Got back for dinner. Wrote Alice
Condon and Cousin Jen. left there at 3.50. I found
Matties Aunt here to spend the evening. I am
so glad I stayed to go to Piketon. I enjoyed it so much.

I put in part of the forenoon with my packing.
John took me to the afternoon train. I sent a
letter to Hattie with my check for baggage in it.
