Page 130

Thursday November 22nd 1928
Went with Art McCollister's family out to 
see a farm he had bought. Letter from Lydia.
I wrote to her and Winnie, WB Mc---, Fannie, Mrs
Gay & Will & Flora. Then took them to the office. 
Evening here and did my packing
Friday November 23rd 1928
Left Oklahoma City at 8.20. The ride part of 
the way very good. Later changed to small train.
Jesse met me at Joplin. Her Father and Mother 
there too and had supper and spent the evening
and then we took them home and rode about 
the city. The Henderson home is beautiful. 
Saturday November 24th 1928
The forenoon spent pleasantly. Part of it over
at Mattie's home. In the afternoon Mr. Henderson 
took us for a long ride.  After supper we went 
to a picture show. Later had callers.  A fine day. 
Sunday November 25th 1928
I wrote Hattie and Jane and packed up my 
things.  The Oustatts here for dinner. We left 
Abe at home and the rest of us had a ride 
over to Neosha. Mattie asked to be left at 
home. Then The Hendersons took me on to 
Carthage. Spent the evening visiting with 
Alice.  I am very tired.  Went to bed early. 
I certainly am having a wonderful visit.
