Saturday, January 21st 1933 - It was a foggy day. Hattie here in afternoon. I was down talking to Mrs Gay awhile in the evening.
Sunday, January 22- 1933 - I went to  S Sr church with Ott. We stopped and got Birdie to go over to Otts to dinner with us. William & Mary took us for a ride and brought us home about four o'clock, weather clear again. Wrote [Lois?] & Dora Brown. 
Monday, January 23- 1933 - Birdie rode to Oxford with Rob. Then went up to the Library. I did washing and cleaning. After dinner read the paper and rested awhile as did Birdie. I wrote LeGrand in the evening. A very fine day. 
Tuesday, January 24- 1933 - A wonderful winter day. The Whetstones took Birdie to Burlington for the day. I did ironing washed windows on the inside and rested awhile. They got back at six o'clock. Had supper & read. Letter from [Winnie?]. 
Wednesday, January 25- 1933 - Very late getting breakfast. I fixed up some dried corn to send to LeGrand & bought of Mrs Slemmons. Birdie took it to the office and went up town & to Helen Whinnerys with Cora to committee meeting  Ott to St Louis tonight
Thursday, January 26- 1933 - Did the regular work. Letter from Ida.  We rested in PM. Went to church supper with the Andersons Hattie not well. Rob brought me $44.00 from the box leaving $260.00. It was raining when we came from the supper.
