Stopped at Holy Hill as Sister Ambrosia had not been there, then on to Milwaukee, stopped at St. Joseph's to see Sister Joselia 'Ann Nigl.' She was busy at the organ at 11:45 A.M. 4 weddings and a funeral at St. Joseph's this morning. Dropped in to see Frank Kellner on Cherry St. Met Arthur P. Roberts. He knows Hank Rusch. Then on to the convent. Met Mary Pable, Florence Karst, Genevieve Drexler. Back home at 6 P.M. The day was ideal and the folks enjoyed it.
