Page 74

Sunday August 28 1910  It was late when we got up.  I wrote a little before Browns sent for us.  We drove out down the road past Uncle Jacobs old home.  Spent a very pleasant day.  Mr & Mrs Brown brought us in just at dark.  Our last night on the porch  What pleasant week.  I did part of the packing.  Monday August 29 1910  We left [Delamar?] at [3.27?] on The [Allain?].  Jim came to the depot with us.  A nice ride to Jacksonville where we saw a show [parade?] before we had our dinners.  Then called on Mr. [Hough?]  Did not find Mr H-- at home.  Left there at 5.09  reached Carthage at 8.45.  Ida met us.  I was very tired.  Tuesday August 30 1910  We spent the day visiting with Ida.  We went out for our meals.  There were several of the ladies I met last fall called on me  Will walked about town some.  I had another letter from Hattie.  Very dusty here too.
