Tuesday, September 30, 1902 Went on train with Ed Willon to North unclear depot. It is raining very steady today. Mr Harvey and Mr A.C. Badger went into the City about nine. and Mrs T.W. Harvey and Mrs Ed Mason went about ten O'clock to Marshall Fields. I want to go to Kenilworth to a large dinner my Son Shreve and Frances are going to give to our Louisville relations but it rains so steady, that I am discouraged, and perhaps will give it up. I received several telephones from my son Mr Shreve Badger asking me to be sure and come to the dinner, as they would be broken up if I did not, then my husband telephoned me not to fail to meet him at North Western. So I did not know what to do - as it poured rain. at last it ceased raining and I rushed into my clothes and took Ed Wilson, the coloured Coachman with my satchel and after a long walk reached the Illinois Central, got on and reached the Marshall Feild building at half past three - waited a long time there to see my daughter Belle - but she had gone to telephone me - as it was getting near the train time to meet Mr. Badger I hurried off.
