I went over to Harmon's in afternoon to get some eggs and while there I met Mr and Mrs Beemer and Mrs Fairbanks.  Rode home with Papa who had been downtown.  Had a dandy visit with Billy in evening.  Rec'd W.H.'s letter.

**Transcriber's note: There is only one Mr and Mrs Beemer in the 1907 Corunna directory.  I think it's interesting that George Beemer's occupation is not listed.  He owned Beemer's department store in Corunna.  Is it assumed that everyone knows this already?  There also is only one Mrs Fairbanks listed.
