Thursday September 25th 1930
Left at 12.30 AM for Boise Idaho. Went to train
in taxi, changed cars at Omaha where I got
the new train. The Portland Rose. It rained on us
going through Nebraska. Went to bed early.
Friday September 26th 1930
A comfortable days trip. I reached Boise at 4.50.
Gerta met me. Spent the evening visiting. I find
Mattie very well. Sent mail back from the train.
Saturday September 27th 1930
I got more mail ready. Gerta got the car out.
we went to The Station to get my suit case. We
took Mattie home and Gerta ad I went down town
by street car for dinner. At two oclock she got
a boy to drive. We went to Nampa & Caldwell. A very
beautiful day. Letter from Lois. I will not stop there.
Sunday September 28th 1930
We spent the AM here. Miss Davis took dinner
with us. Later Ralph Black came to take me to his
home for a visit. Very pleasant. he brought me back at none oclock.
Monday September 29th 1930
Gerta went to school. I visited with Mattie in AM
We both rested in PNM. I did my packing Gerta
came from school to go to the depot with me.
Left Boise at 5 PM. had supper on the
train and went to bed early. Surely the first
stop on my journey has been very delightful.
