Page 133

Monday November 29th 1926
I finished packing and did some telephoning. Cora
took out the big car as the ice is all gone and they
took me to The Station. I found Mrs Raymond there
with her sister whom I had for company to Chicago.
Went out to Winnies by taxi. A pleasant evening with
her. I was rather tired. Went to bed early. Fine weather.
Tuesday November 30th 1926
I wrote Hattie and threaded some beads. In the
afternoon Winnie and I went to call at her
nephews and on to the Chrysanthemum Show at
Garfield Park. Spent evening at home.
Wednesday December 1st 1926
It was 5 weeks today since I left here for home.
Winnie went out to do errands. I knit on bead
bag. After dinner I wrote Lydia and Joe Woolf.
Much colder today.
Thursday December 2nd 1926
I knit some in the AM. We left for the
church out at 50th st before noon. Had dinner
there and attended the annual missionary
meeting in PM. Went home with Mrs Obenstein.
Had lunch and came back to church to concert. It
was late when we got home. had letters from Bro
Ott with bank statement and from Major Lowe,
Alice Condon, Edith Whetstone & Cousin Jen.
A nice winter day.
