Tuesday, October 19, 1965 Mike left bag and baggage again

Another very nice day. I ironed. Betty up to Auburn. She got a very nice letter from Mike. She went up as happy as could be but what did she find. He has been drinking. He wasn’t to be found. She came home very unhappy and sick. He came here late for his personal belongings. I still have hopes for the best for all of them. It seems Mike is hopeless. I am so upset about it. I’m still praying.

A very nice day. Fern and Lloyd called. Our well has 13 inches of water. Betty, Carmen and I to town in p.m. I mailed a letter to Dorothea. In evening I called the Ferns. Well dry at the trailer. I churned.

Thursday, October 21, 1965 Ferns birthday today.

Another very nice day. Betty and Carmen to the doctors. Carmen is okay now he said. But Betty and the expected baby aren’t doing good. Baby isn’t gaining weight. She is too nervous. I hope she will do better now that she is free of that Mike. I went to the bank. They dug down the well at the trailer. Billie still working over to Lawrence’s.
