Saturday January 29th 1921
A beautiful day. I went after the milk and then up
town for the mail and to do errands for Ida. She and
Aunty busy cleaning. I called at Mrs Elder before coming
back. A year ago tonight  left Oklahoma City for Joplin.
Ida and I went up-town late in afternoon. Called on Mrs Kimball
Got books from The Library. I wrote Lydia and The Cincinnati people.
Sunday January 30th 1921
I went up to the hotel to see about a chance for Ida to go to
Ft Pierce by Auto after I had gone after the milk. She could
go soon after one oclock. I helped her take her things up ready
for a start. It was very warm. I read afternoon and evening.
Monday January 31st 1921
It was a wonderful day. I went to tell the folks we did
not need the milk. was busy all forenoon. Went up for
mail after dinner and met Ida. She was pleased with
her trip to Ft Pierce. I had a letter from Rob & two papers.
I wrote Ott before supper time. We were up town in evening.

The forenoon passed as usual. Ida and I went up
town in afternoon. I ordered my new trunk and we made
several calls. A letter from Jim Dunlap. Evening at home.

Ida felt very badly again today. I wrote a long letter
to Hattie and Ida had a letter from her. I went for
