From the diary of Mrs. Elizabeth Oldham of Moxham

Friday - October 31, 1947

To day is Ida's birthday. I baked her a fine apple upside down cake.

Then Leona and Joe come down and Nancy and I got ice cream and we had coffee, ice cream and cake.

Ida got 19 cards and 18 dollars in money. She seams all pleased. She is not very good.

I got 2 cards from Betty Jane.
