Wednesday June 6th 1923
Edith went away today. The train was very late.
I rode to town with Mrs Dunlap at 10.30 to take
treatment of Dr Stayher. Did some errands and
came home with Cora & Fannie. Hattie stayed till Edith
left was busy with my own affairs in afternoon.
Thursday June 7th 1923
I did a lot of work today. Cleaned the cellar
and she rooms besides some washing and ironing.
Hattie in town all day. Went to Mrs Coasts to quilt
and to a P E O luncheon. I was very tired to bed early.
Friday June 8th 1923
I was about sick today. But kept busy. Hattie
went with Fannie soon as she ate dinner to quilt.
I to town at four oclock in taxi to take treatment.
Came home with Otts folks. Laura will be here Sunday PM.
Saturday June 9th 1923
Rob & Hattie went to Burlington in a small car.
It rained so they did not get back. I was busy
in my part of the house all day. Cora at the store.
Sunday June 10th 1923
It still was rainy today. Rob & Hattie got
home about two oclock. They had a hard trip.
Edwin took me over to Jennie Sterritts for a
call and I met Laura who came on the 3.30
train. We came directly home. She unpacked her
trunk before supper. Cora sick all day.
