Saturday January 17th 1920 Visited with the folks in the forenoon. Dorothy came with me to the station. I left at 2.27. A comfortable ride for the rest of the afternoon. To bed at 10 oclock. Sunday January 18th 1920 Reached Oklahoma City on time 8.45. Ella met me. Spent the forenoon visiting. I wrote to Hattie and Lydia After dinner took a walk to PO. When I got back Art Mc-- was here for a visit. Art & Ella away with friends till late supper. Monday January 19th 1920 I did not get up very early. I crotcheted some. Walked down town late in afternoon. The streets crowded. A fine day. Jane and I alone in the evening. Busy with fancy work. Tuesday January 20th 1920 It was a fine morning. I walked over to a store on the east side to look for thread. I then walked away out past Stiles Park. As I looked over toward where Will and I roomed the last time we were here I had plenty to think about. I wrote letters and took to the office. A cold wave tonight. Wednesday January 21st 1920 It was a cold disagreeable day. I was working on the spread. Wrote to Chicago for more thread. Took Ira back over to Arts after supper and spent the evening there. Ralph brought us back. Thursday January 22nd 1920 It rained today so I did not go out to see Gertrude Mitchell. I worked on small wheels I was making for a centre piece and finished it. All at home in evening. Wrote cards to Lydia and Belle Stinson
