Wednesday March 26th 1919
I feel wretched. Fannie got her girl to come over
to do the work. Cora got the dinner. Em Steward
over to see Hattie. I wrote Lydia.
Tuesday March 25th 1919
I did the work and got along all right. Fannie
came from Des Moines in the afternoon. The girls
sat with Hattie. I lay down awhile.
Thursday March 27th 1919
Hattie some better. LeGrand brought the car over
and Cora, Fannie, and I went to see him graduate in
medicine. Ott came down last night. LeGrand
took Fannie and I over to Idas after dinner. While
there Ott called to know about Mr Grier renting the
Coralville place. It made me feel so badly. We soon
came home and I went to bed till supper time.
Mr Grier was over to see me after supper.
Friday March 28th 1919
We did not get up very early. I went over to Ida's
for the afternoon when Rob went. Fannie packed
LeGrand's trunk and he sent it to town. Hattie
about the same. We spent the evening visiting.
Saturday March 29th 1919
We were all up early as LeGrand went away at 7:30
Cora and Fannie went to town after early dinner
and later Fannie went to Des Moines. Hattie had
a very uncomfortable day. A year today Will & I left Oklahoma.
