Page 37

Monday July 4th 1927
I packed up the last of my things and had
a taxi take me to my rooms. Was busy there
till after four oclock. Hattie & Rob came to take me
over to Otts. We had picnic supper and pleasant
time. I stopped at my rooms for the night.
Did some packing before I went to bed.
Tuesday July 5th 1927
I finished packing and went out for breakfast.
Rob & Hattie came. Then William and later Cora
who took me to the station. Ott was coming to
Davenport on the same train. The wait at Bureau
was not tedious. When I got to Peoria Edith and
The Woolfs were there. I was so glad to get on
out tonight. Was very tired. It had been a warm
day and I had little sleep last night. Too much noise.
Wednesday July 6th 1927
I rested and visited with the girls. Edith did
washing. I wrote Hattie. Laura went for a call
with The Woods after supper. Later there was a 
hard storm with rain. We got to bed about ten oclock.
Thursday July 7th 1927
I was busy with my own affairs till Frank Woolf
came for us at 11.30. Spent a pleasant day over
there. Frank brought us home at 5 oclock.
The Clarkes called in the evening. The girls got
to bed early. A beautiful cool day after the rain.
