Monday September 15th 1924
Was busy in my room in AM. Rode to town
with Ott after dinner. Went up to Hatties. I
made my silk bag. Cora brought me home after
supper. Had letter from Birdie and wrote Laura
Mason. It is 40 years today since brother Rob died.

I went to town in The Bus and called on Rev
Keeler to get my church letter for The Presbyterian
church. I then selected a hat and got a pair of
shoes. Went back to town in PM to take a
treatment of Dr Stryker. Called at Jennie Sterritts.
Ott went away this evening. Hattie spent evening here.

I rode to town with Fannie and got my hat.

Called at Mrs Broadways. Ott home tonight. Fine day.
