Wednesday September 26th 1928
Wrote Mary Lake at Eagle City Okla. Took mail to PO

had the big trunk brought down from Whetstones. I
put in the evening looking over pictures and letters.

I made pickles and busy about the house. Sewed
and wrote Mattie Stitt in PM. Hattie here for
supper and we went to Prayer meeting with Andersons.
Friday September 28th 1928
I wrote Winnie and Warner and took the letters to PO.
Later I went up to Hatties by street car. They brought
me home. Fannie & Buddy here part of afternoon.
After supper went to sub-station to mail picture and
stopped at picture show. Read a book after I got home.
Saturday September 29th 1928
I did some things about the house and wrote Lydia
and Alice Condon. A letter from L D L. Card from
Lydia. Went
to Elder Daughters meeting at Mrs Kelleys. I paid
both my dues and Hatties and Mattie Fletchers.
I came over to Carrie Andersons where she and Ada
McCallister were having a reception. Nice time.
Floyd & Mollie brought me home. Went up town. I 
stopped to call at Harter Apts. After I got home
a message said there was a letter from me at The
Store. Went after that. It was from Alice Condon
telling of the death of Mc-- & Annas daughter Ruth.
