Friday January 28th 1927

It was a dark day, raining a very little. Winnie

and I went out to Austin to visit her friend. I had
a letter from Hattie Lydia and wrote she and Fannie.
The evening spent reading and knitting on bead bag. 
Saturday January 29th 1927
It was a foggy dark day.  I went down town. Did an
errand and got lunch. I then went out to Woolfs by [Bul?] 
Had a nice visit and came back the same way.  In the 
evening wrote to Lydia and Birdie Harris.  
Sunday January 30th 1927  
Winnie did not feel well. I was up first.  She got up 
before noon.  Soon after dinner I went out to McCalls 
to see Warner before I go away.  We expected to go to the 
city in the evening with Levegoods. It was so late when 
they came.  They spent the evening here.  Weather pleasant.
A special delivery letter from Fannie.
Monday January 31st 1927  I did some washing for myself.  After early dinner 
we went out to George Bremners by street car.  It was 
a long way.  But a pleasant ride.  We had a nice visit.  
A letter from Hattie.  Wrote Fannie in the evening. 
Tuesday February 1st 1927 
We left at 11:30 for 63rd St. to go to a picture show.  
Emma Davis had wanted me to see "Adventures in 
Alaska" It was fine. We were too early.  So it made a 
long afternoon.  I had a letter from Ida in the A.M. 
and the afternoon mail one from Hattie and L.D.L.
We were very tired and went to bed early.
