Thursday December 26 1907
When I got up this morning decided to go home will Mrs Brown  I hurried through some of the work.  Got [illegible] Hoffman to stay while I was away and Will took me down in time for the eleven oclock train  We had a nice day together going over.  Ott had telephoned Mr Br that we were coming and Jim met me at the station.  We were soon over to the house where a warm welcome and a good supper awaited us.  We talked till bedtime.
Friday December 27 1907
I went up this morning to call on Aunt Jane and [illegible] John Woolf.  The middle of the afternoon went down town of an errand and down to Lizzy Duncans  I did not get back till dark.  [illegible] and Edith went to Peoria today.  Lydia had head ache part of the day.
Saturday December 28 1907
I was busy with doing things for myself in the forenoon  at three oclock I went up town.  met a man from Mr Browns who took me out there.  I had a very pleasant evenings visit, and was glad to see the baby again.  The roads are very bad.  It was good of them to send for me. I am enjoying my visit so much.
