Tuesday March 20th 1923
I went in town with Mrs Falk at 8:30. Was at Pickens
and then made a call on The McBrides. I next went
to The Club rooms to order R R reservations and wrote
to Hattie. I was at Pickens for dinner and They
took The McBrides and myself to ride all over town
and to the river. I stopped at The [Dreha?] to come
home with Mrs Falk. Another letter from Hattie says
Birdie is sick and Mrs Blackman is dead. Wrote to Laura.
Wednesday March 21st 1923
I was busy all forenoon. Did some washing. I wrote
Laura again and sent Hatties letter. Mrs Falk and I went
to see The McBrides before they left this PM. Then I sat
in the car while she rode around. Letter from Laura.
Back to mid week meeting in evening and to picture show.

oclock for mail. Letters from Hattie. Awful storms up
north. Much snow. Birdie ill a week. Evening at home.
Busy writing most of the forenoon. A long letter to
Hattie, one to Cousin Jen and Mrs J N Briggs at Grinnell.
