Sunday June 19th 1927
We went to S S and church in taxi. Ott & Fannie
brought us home and spent the day. Hattie is
suffering with that poison on her face. I wrote a
long letter to Joe Williams in the evening.
Monday June 20th 1927
I put in the forenoon taking my blue silk dress
apart. Rob home, he brought Della Mardorf that
Hattie had invited when he came to lunch. It
rained all afternoon. Letter from Lizzie Lindley.
I sewed in afternoon and read in the evening.
Tuesday June 21st 1927
It rained all night. I came to my rooms when
the boy came for the truck. I sewed on my dress
and went up town for some things. Hattie had
the doctor today. Rob away tonight. We went to bed early.
Wednesday June 22nd 1927
I came down town early. Was invited to ride
from the bridge while waiting for car. I did errands
and came to the rooms. Letters from Lydia and Winnie.
I sewed on my dress all day. Home by street car.
The Byingtons up in evening. Fannie stayed till ten oclock.
Thursday June 28th 1927
I came down town with the boy in the truck.
Had letters from Ida that had been sent to
Delavan. Harry & Nellie are with her. I sewed
all day on my dress. Home by street car.
