Page 114

Thursday July 14th 1921
Last night the hottest yet. Edith went up town in
the AM. We had a shower about noon. Much cooler.
We all rested in afternoon. Evening on the porch.
Friday July 15th 1921
I felt wretched all day. I slept awhile in afternoon.
I walked up town after supper to take a treatment of
Dr Woltman. A letter from Mrs Pickens. I will visit them.
Saturday July 16th 1921
I spent the day at Woolfs. Frank came for me and
late in the afternoon we took a long ride out past
Boynton. It was a great treat. How Will would have
enjoyed it. When I got back found the folks very tired
as they had extra work with company for dinner.
Mr Parsons and Mrs Sheely here and callers in afternoon.
Sunday July 17th 1921
A hot day again. Read some in forenoon. We all
rested in afternoon. Later there were callers. Mrs [Stabler?]
and family. I wrote Hattie and Mrs Pickens after late
lunch. The rest of evening on the porch.
Monday July 18th 1921
I went up town at 8 oclock to take a treatment.
Did some errands and walked back. The folks did
washing. There was a fine shower early in the
afternoon. I read some. The evening on the porch.
A letter from Hattie they got home Saturday night.
