Marjorie Hartsock here with Cora. Wrote Lydia. Had letter from Laura later. I answered. Ott came up at noon. I signed a contract to see The Coralville home to Frank Carson. He gets possession March 1st 1920. It brought a little less than the $7000 Will asked for it. If he could only have lived to do this himself and come here with me to stay. Saturday June 14th 1919 I was out to Coralville part of the day. I wrapped some pictures and did other things. This work is hard on me. The others busy with their affairs came back before supper. This is cousin By Byington's birthday. I spent it with him in 1912 in Chicago.
