Sunday June 5th 1921
I went with Hattie to Christian church to hear
J Madison Williams preach. In afternoon wrote Nellie,
Sue & Sallie Reed and Miss Elder. I sent a check to
Earl Danner as I had given to each of the Hedges boys.
Rode with Whetstones. Took Cora to west Liberty to go north in the evening.

There was nothing urgent to do so I did not get up
till nearly noon. Hattie busy finishing a sweater. I
wrote a long letter to Joe Woolf in afternoon.

I was busy about the house in forenoon. Did some
errands and went out to Aunt Emmas. I saw Mary
Cox and husband. They arrived from their home yesterday.
I came home with Rob at supper time. I was down
to Otts awhile in the evening. Joe Woolfs birthday. Letter from Warner McCall.

Miss Fellman came to sew for me today, Made me
a dress and did some other things. Rob took his
Mother and I to the concert at Presbyterian church.
