Friday September 29th 1893
It rained all day long. I worked on my tidy
and done some mending. Edith stopped for
her dinner. Will spent the evening at home.
Saturday September 30th 1893
I washed a few things this morning and it was
so cloudy I did not get them out till nearly noon.
I did some extra work about the place and
went up town late in the afternoon. was at
Chalfants awhile. I ironed some got our suppers
over them we packed up our things ready to go
to Chicago on the ten oclock train. Mr Fuller &
wife came home last night. We had a very
good trip in to the city. She that used to be
Adda Fletcher was on the train.
Sunday October 1st 1893
We got of at 51st St and walked up to John
Harts where we spent a pleasant forenoon.
Will engaged the very room that Mr & Mrs Fuller
had with Mrs Day 4145 Langley Avenue.
After dinner we took Johns horse and buggy
and rode over to see the folks from the valley
stopping at Mrs Martins at 5626 Princeton Ave.
It was a lovely afternoon and the drive delightful
at six oclock went to our room by street car
and went to bed early.
