Rob after dinner to do some errands. Blanche and Robert
Jellison came in afternoon. Hattie & I rode with Otts
folks in the evening. Went out past Coralville.
Wednesday August 24th 1921
We visited with Blanche in forenoon. I went to town
with Rob after dinner for Chiropractic treatment.
Came home and rested till supper time. Hattie to The
Home in forenoon to work and in PM went to the funeral
of Mr E E Johnston. We all went to town after supper to hear the band play.
Thursday August 25th 1921
Was home all forenoon. We all went down to Fannies
for dinner. I came home at three to rest awhile. I do
not feel well. The young folks went out for picnic
supper. Hattie and I rode with Otts folks in the evening.
He and I stopped at Hedges for a call. Very warm.
Friday August 26th 1921
Our breakfast was very late. We girls rode out to
Hedges and around to George Stevens for things for the table.

hard cough. I had a letter from Mattie Stitt and Lydia.
Wrote to her and took my rest. Hattie and I down to
