Page 288

Thursday December 16th 1915
We had given up going today and were
eating breakfast at 8 oclock when we saw
Art Jones clearing the walks. We hurried to
finish packing and were dressed in time
for the 9:15 car and were in time for "The
Limited" east. We got to Delavan on time
and got an Auto to take us down to Masons.
Found the folks well. Visited awhile before bed time.
Friday December 17th 1915
We got our trunk this morning and I
unpacked such things as needed and put to
rights in our room. Stella and Mr Webster
came in the evening to stay all night as he
was to play for a ball tongiht. The ground and
trees are covered with ice. I wrote Fannie today.
Saturday December 18th 1915
I went up town before noon. Stella and her
family went home before supper time.
Will spent the afternoon with Lizzie Duncan.
I did some fancy work. I mailed a
package to Lizzie Lindley. Vene busy with the
regular work.
