I came down in the truck and put in a
full day sewing. I finished my dress and
did some other sewing. Rob away again so I
went home by taxi. Hattie still suffering with that
ivy poison on her face. Very tired, went to bed early. Wrote Ida.
Saturday June 25th 1927
Hattie and I went to The River Junction Picnic with
Ott & Fannie. I came down to my rooms first. We
had such a good time. Was tired. Early to bed.
Sunday June 26th 1927
Hattie and I walked to the cemetery in AM.
Rob came at dinner time. I slept most of
the afternoon. Rob & Hattie had a ride after
supper. Nellie is 40 years old today.

I came to my rooms with Rob. I was up town
before noon. I paid Ruppert & Seaman bill. I
cleaned my silver today. Wrote Cora in PM.

I came down to my rooms in the store truck. Was
up town awhile. Had letter from Lydia. Wrote Winnie,
