Page 207

Thursday September 17th 1914
After a good nights rest we left Kansas City at 9:30
on a good train. As we were in a Pullman we had a very
comfortable days travel. Reached Oklahoma City at 12:11 and
Art McCallister met us and we spent the night at his home.
Friday September 18th 1914
As soon as we had breakfast we started out to get
some rooms. found a most desireable place just across
the street from Art McCallisters, a whole upper floor well
furnished for 20.00 a month. I was most of the afternoon there.
Saturday September 19th 1914
I was working all my spare time doing the day
cleaning our rooms, unpacking and putting our things
to rights. We spent the evening on the porch at Janes.
Sunday September 20th 1914
We spent part of the time at our rooms and ate our
meals at Jones. I read a little. In the evening
went to church with Art Grace & Mrs Phillips.
Monday September 21st 1914
We brought a few things from Janes and went up to
the corner grocery for others that I had enough to
get the dinner with. Was over to Janes in afternoon
for a little while and then went on down town for
some things I needed. I met Will. We walked
back together we found a place where his laundry
could be done. There has been a warm wind
blowing all day. Spent the evening with the folks.
