Thursday February 10th 1927
I read some in forenoon and wrote to Hattie.
Early in the afternoon Ida and I went to a club
meeting near by and later to the other side of
town to a reception. It was snowing part of PM.

I was busy with different things. Read some and
took a sleep. Ida down town in PM. We went up
on the hill by taxi in evening to hear piano music.
Saturday February 12th 1927
It was a beautiful day. I went to Newark by bus

too. It was a nice little trip and we enjoyed the
picture. A letter from Hattie. Very tired early to bed.
