Page 133

Friday October 24th 1930 
The day soon passed. Reached Oklahoma City at 
5 PM. Found things just as a year ago. A letter 
from Laura. Art & Grace over here for the evening. 
Saturday October 25th 1930 
I did some writing and read to Ira. The day 
and evening spent here with family. Weather fine. 
Sunday October 26th 1930 
Ralph took Grace and me to church and brought us 
back to their home for dinner. I went over to see 
Mrs. Phillips a few moments. A good visit with Art 
& Grace. The evening with Jane & family. 
Monday October 27th 1930 
Wrote Will Work. Went out to Gertrude Mitchels by 
street car. I saw Dr Branson a few minutes. 
Gertrude brought me home. Spent PM here. Jane got 
my supper early. Ralph & Elizabeth took me to the 
station for the train at 6 PM. Went to bed early. 
Tuesday October 28th 1930 
Reached Kansas City at 7:15 and out for Des Moines 
at 8:30. It was a tedious trip. Went directly to the Browns. 
I talked to Joe Williams. Wrote some after supper. 
Wednesday October 29th 1930 
Went out to the Williams by street car. A letter Joe got 
from Hattie says they want me home tomorrow eve 
for a surprise birthday party for Mary. It began to 
storm so I went back to the Browns in a taxi. 
I will soon be at the end of this wonderful trip.
