Iowa Byington Reed diary, January 1, 1925-December 31, 1926

Page 113

Tuesday September 7th 1926
It was a beautiful day. I had a letter from
Hattie and wrote she and Edith Whetstone
before ten oclock. I then went up town in a taxi.
Was at the dentists and did other errands. Had
lunch and went down to Lizzie Duncans for
the afternoon. Will brought me home. Evening on
the porch with the girls. Letter from Mrs Moore.
Wednesday September 8th 1926
I was busy in my room most of the forenoon
doing sewing for myself. I started another rug
in the afternoon. It rained all day. I had a
letter from Hattie with one she had from Edith
enclosed and one from Ott. He sent me $100.00
and the extracts from LeGrands letters that
he read at The Kiwanis Club. I wrote him in
the evening. The girls got to and from school
nicely. This is Hatties wedding anniversary.
Thursday September 9th 1926
It had quit raining this morning. I worked all
day on a braided rug. It is much cooler. I had
letters from Rob Whetstone & Winnie. I wrote to her.
Friday September 10th 1926
It was real cool today. I worked on a rug
all day. After supper I went over to Lou Thomas
a few moments. Her Father has been sick some
time. I wrote Hattie. Had a forwarded letter
with a re-vote on income tax.
