Page 42

Tuesday August 14th 1923
I had my breakfast after a good nights sleep
and talked to Mrs Barrett before going to my train.
Reached Centralia before noon. Visited with Lizzie. Wrote to Hattie.
Wednesday August 15th 1923
We went up town in AM. I took a sleep in PM.
We were on the porch till bed-time. Rather warm for
this climate. Mrs Lewis called in PM.
Thursday August 16th 1923
I was doing sewing for Lizzie in AM. Mattie Fletcher
came before noon. I wrote Aunt Sarah & Laura. Letter from Hattie.
Friday August 17th 1923
We girls all went up town in AM. My suit case has
not come and they have started to trace it. Mattie
went back to Puyallup later. I went to depot with her.
Saturday August 18th 1923
We girls went up town after noon. I did some washing
for myself. Wrote to Lizzie's children in Los Angeles. I had
a letter from Ott. He is in St Anthony. Read in evening.
Sunday August 19th 1923
I wrote to Hattie in forenoon. Lizzie busy with her
work. I met Mattie at 11.35. Rob & Hattie Lindley
came last night. Art Robinson and wife with Rob
Cohoon and family here for dinner. I rode down
to the fair grounds. Later some of us went to
Offutt Lake in Rob Cohoons car. They were here
for supper. It has been rather a full day.
