Page 117

Sunday September 26th 1926
It was raining this morning when I got up at
Tulsa and kept it up all day. I came up to
Janes in a taxi. She and Art Mc--- had gone to
the station twice but missed me. I wrote Hattie
and Lydia. Jane and I spent the day visiting.
Art took Ella to her Mothers for the day.
Monday September 27th 1926
Still raining. Late breakfast. I wrote Warner McCall
and Harry Mason. The folks busy with their work.
I read and slept in PM. Art and Grace brought
Little Barbara Jean and were here for the evening.
Tuesday September 28th 1926
It simply passed all forenoon. I read and
talked with Jane. Wrote a couple of business
notes in the PM and slept awhile.
The family all home for the evening.
Wednesday September 29th 1926
It was still raining this morning. I did a little
crotchet work in AM and wrote LeGrand. A letter
from Lydia. Ralph and wife here in afternoon.
Thursday September 30th 1926
It is still raining. I did some crotchet work in AM.
After dinner wrote Alice Condon. Arth Stinson and
Lydia. It had stopped raining in the
evening. Was very warm. We sat on the
porch. I cant realize it will soon be a
week since I left Delavan.
