Another ideal day overhead but very bad underfoot. Washed. Cora and I went down town in the afternoon. Got the mail and Cora got a letter which I made her let me see and I had to console the poor girl. Did some shopping for the Washburn folks and went up to Baardson’s. Saw proof of the Washburn school. Floyd looks awfully sweet and more than ever like Arthur.

C & I debated in the evening about the letter.

NOTES

1. Did Cora receive a letter from Rovig?

2. "The Washburn folks"
would be Hilda's parents, John & Charlotte Satterlund, and their youngest child, Floyd (Hilda's little brother).

3. "Proof" would refer to a photo, apparently of children at the school in Washburn. Arthur was Hilda's brother who died not long before Floyd was born.
