We saw beautiful country. spent the evening visiting. Wednesday May 3rd 1916 It was a fine morning. We left at 9:15 in company with Belle's Father, Col. Wilcox, who left us at Anadarko. We reached Janes at a few minutes after two. I found a lot of letters and cards from the folks. Jane feels much better. I started to make Jane a pattern of my quilt. Thursday May 4th 1916 I am working away on the pattern from Jane. I wrote some letter and was down town late in afternoon. Friday May 5th 1916 It was a windy day. I was down town in the morning.
