It was late when we had breakfast. Soon after
started for a ride and the folks left us at The Station.
Pleasant trip down. Found a Granville bus ready to go
and was soon home. Aunty well and got on nicely alone.
Monday April 6th 1925
Went down town for Ida. Wrote Fannie & Lydia. I
rested in afternoon. Ida on the couch most of the day.
Tuesday April 7th 1925
I was about the house all AM. After dinner we
walked up on the hill to see College buildings. Very
tire-some. I packed my trunk after I got back evening 
here. Letters from Mrs Falk and Hattie. weather warmer.
Wednesday April 8th 1925
The man came for my trunk early. Soon after dinner
Ida and I went to Newark in The Bus. She did not
stay till my train came. Reached Cincinnatti on
time. Had supper. Got Pullman ticket. On train at 9.30.
Thursday April 9th 1925
Had a good nights rest. Arrived at Chicago on time 7.15.
Went directly to LaSalle St Station. Had breakfast.
Very soon after Warner McCall came and we had two
hours visit before my train left. Rob met me and took
me over to Otts. Hattie spent the evening here.
