Page 50

Tuesday October 2nd 1923
I began sewing on a house dress for myself
and worked at it all day. I filled out the
blank sent by Milwaukee for the loss of suit case in the evening.
Wednesday October 2rd 1923
I was busy sewing all day. I got my dress nearly
done. Hattie to church meeting on afternoon. I
had a card from Lydia. Was down to Otts in evening.
Thursday October 4th 1923
I finished my dress and cleaned up my rooms.
The Girls had their P E O luncheon here today. I
visited with the ladies. I rode to town at 5 oclock
with The Girls when they went to a tea at Corrie
Andersons. Did some errands and walked back.
Friday October 5th 1923
I did some washing for myself in the AM.
Emma was here sewing for Cora. I fixed my silk
coat I got in the summer. We drove over to meet
Rob who had been away (at 3.40). I went with
Cora when she took Emma home at 8.30. Did ironing before that.
Saturday October 6th 1923
Hattie & I left with Ott & Fannie at eight
oclock to drive to Mt Pleasant. Had dinner
there and got home at 5 oclock. The roads
were fairly good. After supper we girls all three
went to a picture show. Hattie and I home
in Coralville taxi. I was very tired. I had a 
fine letter from Major Briggs at Los Angeles.
