Dear Mother's 73rd birthday. She spent most of the
day at Cro'nest with the children.
Had a birthday cake &c. (Letitia
went to Industry) I lunched with Bess & Mary
& they came up in the evening - brought
Mother roses & worked on a scrapbook
awhile. I loafed & toasted them marshmallows. We had a fine grate
fire - very cold outdoors!
Sat 1911
Dear Mother's birthday! Got up about 9 & to
the office at 10. Worked strenuously till six - (developed 2 rolls) end of
year &c. &c. went over to Sibley's & had such a nice supper - un- expectedly - with
the 4 - leaf clovers. Shopped with Mary & Bess afterward -
came home & sewed, ironed, did accounts, settled &c. &c. &c.
till after three a.m.! What would Mother
say! One of the most intense days I ever spent got my horoscope.
Claude'sXmas presents!
Mon 1912
Dear Mother's 75th birthday - but she's younger
than any of us in many ways.
Hamilton & Jack McI
called. He is as twinkly and as complementary as ever.
Gertrude came today - so long since
I've seen her! We had a visit this eve. & Edith came & stayed till nine. Brought Mother a lovely pink-basket bouquet, tied
with gauze ribbon.
Tues 1913 Mother lunched with me today, at
Sibley's, in honor of her birthday. She
was so lovely. Edith
J. was with us some of the time. Tonight we played
flinch awhile & then I read my old 1895
journal (N.Y. & Boston) to
Mother
till quite late. I feel pretty "rocky" these days!
She lunched
with me (after I had had a long
talk with Irene in the private office.
All about it.
Bess & Mary lunched too. Then we went to "Peg O' My
heart" (so good). Shopped & went down to
Carolyn's to dinner. She's so good to me! Such a nice
dinner & home by moonlight. She gave
Mother a book, a handkerchief, a box of
candy, some candied orange peel &c. &c. I gave her a diary &
some stamps! We dolove her so!
