the rug all AM. Letter from Winnie & card from Mary.
Birdie & Hattie part of the PM. Home with Ott at 5 oclock.
Wednesday August 13th 1930
I worked on the rug all AM. I had a letter
from Laura telling me much of Lydias last days.
The Whetstones took me to Mildred McCollisters from the PM.
I stopped at Otts. He was away part of the evening.
Thursday August 14th 1930
I had only been home a little while when Hattie
phoned. They were going to Cedar Rapids. They came
for me. We had lunch at [Killoreys?]. Went to see
"Manslaughter." Very good. I bought a black bag.
