Page 84

Tuesday April 15th 1924
I was not away from the place. I do not
cough quite so much. Lydia on the porch all
afternoon. I slept some and talked with the folks.
Wednesday April 16th 1924
It was a warm tiresome day. I helped a
little with the work. Read a little. Slept in afternoon.
Thursday April 17th 1924
It turned cooler last night. I packed my trunk
in forenoon. Laura came from school in time to go the
station with me. Edith stopped there. Went to the Jefferson
Hotel in Peoria. Read in evening. Wrote some and to bed early.
Friday April 18th 1924
I had breakfast at hotel and left Peoria at 8 oclock
reaching home at 3.40. Ott met me. Hattie and I visited
till supper time. I went down to Ott awhile and later Rob
took us for a Auto ride. Bright moonlight but cool. Letter from Cousin Jen.
Saturday April 19th 1924
I warmed up my part of the house and unpacked my
trunk. Soon after dinner Hattie, Cora, Mrs Sheldrick, and I
went to a splendid movie. We spent the evening at home.
Cora & Mrs S--- out for supper.
Sunday April 20th 1924
Not a very pleasant Easter Sunday. Hattie and I
went to Sunday School with Ott. Cora and Mrs Sheldrick
came to church. We got Rob later and went to The
Red Ball Inn for dinner. We rode quite awhile late in
afternoon. I wrote to Vene. We spent the evening
with Ott and Fannie.
