Another fine day. We left home early to go to Orlando 
by excursion to the fair. Reached there about 10:30 looked
over the pretty city. Got dinner and went to the fair. Enjoyed
it very much. Got home at eight oclock. Walter was with us.

errands. We got some mail. Ott & Fannie had a hard

Saturday February 13th 1915
A fine day. We were at home till after four oclock. We went
to town. Hattie and I got such a nice wood basket to take to
Fannie. I wrote letters most of the afternoon. Walter went to
his reading so it was late when we got home to supper.

day. We went with Walter and in the afternoon Hattie took a
walk but I rested at home. Wrote some and read till bed time.
Monday February 15th 1915
I went to town with Walter early in the afternoon. I did 
a number of errands for myself. I brought home a very pretty
wood basket Hattie and I bought for Fannie. I waited at the
