Annie's Diary 1906 August 25th

August 25 – Saturday

Cousin Belle and I made our first trip downtown by ourselves and got along admirably. We spent most of Saturday morning in shopping and certainly enjoyed our first down town trip alone.

Upon receiving a telegram saying that Cousin John Lively was coming to New York, we all went to 23rd St. ferry to meet him. But to our regret we did not see him at all, so, although disappointed in not having the pleasure of showing him New York first, we had to come home without him. When we reached here, he was sitting up big as life, and perfectly at home.
