Page 69

Tuesday December 7th 1920
It was a nice day. The girls did a big washing. I
put the clothes out and brought them in. I sewed a little
Cora went to a dinner party at Whinerys. Hattie to town
to a concert in the evening and I down to Otts.
Thursday December 9th 1920
We were all late getting up this morning. Rob wanted
to go to Cedar Rapids. Mrs & Mrs Sheldrick Cora and myself
made the party. The roads were fairly good. We had a good
dinner. Were in the stores some and got back about four
oclock. I went up to the Hospital to see William. He was
in a wheel chair. Hattie to town all afternoon and evening.
I wrote to Joe Woolf and sister Ida.
Friday December 10th 1920
A mild day. Hattie & Cora went to a luncheon at
Mrs Cox. I was busy with my own affairs. I wrote
Lydia in afternoon. Spent evening with Fannie. When
I came home at ten oclock The Shedricks were here
and the girls had an oyster supper ready.
Two years today since I heard Dear Wills voice.
Saturday December 11th 1920
We were busy with things at home all forenoon.
Fannie went with us to town in the afternoon. I took
Williams coat up to him. He gets out in a wheel chair.
I was at Otts office to get a statement of Wills and my
notes. Took a treatment of Dr. Cleveland. Did some errands
and Fannie and I came with Cora in The Hudson. Hattie
came with Rob later. A beautiful day. just like spring.
