Page 98

Monday June 4th 1928
I worked about the place till noon. Then went to
The MacBride dinner at "The Union." Mr Rowe
and Ott were there and we ate with them. A
very pleasant occasion. Did work after coming home.
Tuesday June 5th 1928
It rained all day. I worked till noon carrying
things over to my rooms. I ate my dinner there
about three oclock. Had two men finish the
moving for me. I had card from Lydia and letters from Mrs Doyle and
Ida. I wrote both after supper. Anna Kleim here in evening.
Wednesday June 6th 1928
I put up some curtains in forenoon. Went to meeting
at The Church in afternoon. Hattie came with me
down to The Jefferson where we found Fannie with
Kate Rowe and bid her good-by. One of the boys from
the store came for Hattie. They took some things up
there in the truck. Wrote Mattie Stitt in evening.
Thursday June 7th 1928
I did some things before I went to Hatties in a
taxi at 9 oclock to a breakfast given by The Reds.
Rode home with Mary & Fannie. They had been
to the station to take The Rowes to the train for Chicago.
I wrote W B McC--- before I went by taxi over to
Mrs Kuevers to a group meeting. She brought me
home. The Whetstone went to a party. I went to prayed
meeting with The Andersons. Hattie & Mrs Raymond
there too. Ott went to Springfield Ohio tonight. Rain this evening.
