Page 59

Thursday November 26th 1925
I was busy in my room till we went over to
Hatties for dinner which was fine. Spent the afternoon
visiting while William & Ott went to the country. The
evening at home. How well I remember seven years ago.
Friday November 27th 1925
William took me over to Hedges soon after breakfast.
I took Charlie a coat of Wills. I then called at Will
Anderson and came down town on the car. I went
to the bank for money. Did a lot of errands and to
Hatties by street car. Cora brought us down town.
She left me at Rock Island depot where I found
out about ticket &c. Came back down town. Got a
new hat box I had bought and came home in taxi.
I had letters from Lydia, Mattie Fletcher, The Seiberts,
Blanche Abernathy. Wrote L D L, Ella Wilcox, The Seiberts.
Saturday November 28th 1925
I was busy at home all day. Did sewing for myself
and washed a dress. The girls went to Cedar Rapids after
early dinner. The Whetstones were here with them. I had a
letter from Millie Byington. Wrote Lydia in evening.
Sunday November 29th 1925
It snowed last night and again today. I went to S S
and church with Ott. Hattie and Edith Whetstone came
home with us. Ron and Cora later. Fannie had a fine
dinner. We visited till late afternoon. Later I wrote
Mattie Fletcher & Blanche Abernathy. Mrs Mass over
