We intended to get up early but did not – it was 7:15 before anyone got up. Dr. came 8:30. It was real pleasant riding in the morning but toward afternoon it got windy. The roads were pretty bad and the 40 miles always seem so long. Got home about 7 o’clock. Found the folks all well. Floyd came and met me on the road and was glad to see his “big sister.”

NOTES
1. Hilda was heading to Washburn, 40 miles north of Bismarck, where her parents and younger brother Floyd lived. Apparently, younger sisters Florence (~14) and Lulu (~16) stayed in Bismarck. It is not clear whether they were left to supervise themselves. Floyd would have been about 5.
2. Dr. was Dr. Forbes, apparently of Washburn, who gave Hilda a ride up to Washburn. Not sure what type of carriage they would have ridden in.
3. Hilda was getting ready to teach at a school near Washburn.
