Went, met Bella [McRitchie], looks very young. Had chicken lunch then out to her flat. She cut my hair. Had afternoon tea. I bought two dresses – 1 hat, dresses 9.50 each, hat 1.90 tax about 2/ – fit me good. Oh, Arthur & son Bill [Bella’s husband and Thirza’s uncle] came home to dinner, very glad to see me – Arthur looks very well, and very happy – Jean & husband [Peter] came after, had a good evening, and they drove me home – She had married very well – both have their own cars. Going out tomorrow for lunch, husband is calling for me.
[At the time Arthur and Bella McRitchie were renting a home at 749 7th Avenue, San Francisco which is now part of a Safeway shopping complex.]
