Nursing Diary no.2 - 6 April 1924-February 1926

pretty lonesome too. Though he wouldn't give in. And I couldn't help feeling sorry for them both for I know the awful ache there is. Had a lovely letter from Mother o'mine this am. enclosing one from JeanAunt Lucy & Jennie McI. I wrote to Mother & Happy. Was downtown looking for coats. Will go down in am. and decide. Read an awfully good book - "By An Other Disciple" and started another by Bruce Barton "The Man Nobody Knows." And now I'm off to bed. And so hope awfully hard for a case [case is double underlined]

Tuesday November 17, 1925 Dear Dairy And still no case. Brownie & Beattie are still on theirs and likely to be for some time I suppose. But no luck coming my way. Had a letter from Happy and Aunt Jessie this am. Aunt. J disappointed that I am not going to Detroit, but I'll go there for a visit sometime after I arrive in Albany. No birth certificate as yet. They are holding us up horridly. Bought a coat today. was rather undecided about a green one in Smallman & Ingam's, and a blue

one in Paris Ready-to-wearso took Miss Childs with this P.M. to decide. And we both like the blue one better. It is rather pretty - trimmed with seal. I hope Mother o mine likes it. Funny how I always wonder what she will think of things before I buy them. And I usually can tell pretty well what she will like for me. Phoned Miss Callard tonight she had written to me about Albany. rather strange. her letter will likely come here tomorrow. Am going to see her tomorrow P.M. Nighty nighty -------

Wednesday Nov. 18. 1925 Dear Dairy Received Miss Callards letter this am. also one from Mae and check for $100. Mae says Mother may go to G.V. on Thursday to be there for Jean's birthday on Saturday. Which reminds me that I must send a birthday card for that day too. Nothing very exciting happening this morning. After dinner went to see Miss Callard - Bought a flower for my coatand rode up on same car as Annie. Miss Callard is certainly very enthused about Albany, and I could hardly wait tonight.

till the birth certificates arrive. We received word this am. that we owed $6.00 on them - so I sent a money order and asked them to hurry. Bought our passport pictures, which are fairly good. Put my money in Imperial Bank, where I was before. Everyone was out tonight, but Mary & I. I played and Mary studied. Must go to hear Ralph Connor soon. Only wish those old certificates would hurry so we could get away. I must write Aunt Ruby soon and tell her we are going through Buffalo -
