Dear Geneva: we are now at Oswego, getting directions on how to get to Belle’s.  We’re at Ted’s and Mabel’s last night.  Have had lots of rain since getting into Oregon, but it is not too cold.  Love Mom

February 2nd Sunday 1947

Ground Hog Day and the sun came out after raining and blowing most of night.  Went with Mrs. Max Englert (Helen) to a little church (Rosewood Chapel).  Had dinner and had a look Carl’s and Max’s saw mill and at 2:00 we were on the way to Banks, Ore.  Got to Banks at 3:00, found Linda’s house and an old lady in the house said Linda had left on bus for Portland at 2:30.  Decided to go on to  Ebba’s and perhaps find Sam’s at Oregon City on return trip.

Ebba and Linda (first cousins to Selma) daughters of Aunt Maggie and Helen was daughter of Linda.

Got to Sorenson’s about 9:15, after the ride across on ferry at Astoria.  Foggy, rainy weather.  Lots of snow at times thru the mountains.

Dear Geneva:  We got to Ebba’s about 9:15 last night.  Came across the Columbia on ferry after dark.  Some snow in mts. Sun P.M.  went to Banks, Ore, but missed Linda by 45 min. she had gone back to logging camp, near Oregon City (near Portland.)  We'll try to find her as we go back that way.   Daddy & Dwane are fishing below Sorenson’s barn this P.M. I went with Geo. & Ebba to a funeral.  Has been rainy but sun is out now.  Will go on tomorrow.  Mom
