MORSE PACKS HIS GLADSTONE FOR CHICAGO

Not quite so cold.
Morse and I went to G.R.
with Henry - Henry went to Lansing
with Road Comm[ission] to attend meeting
Back to-morrow.
Morse finished plan to leave for
Chicago to-morrow at 8:10 AM CST
Did business with Central Bank [1] G.R.
Also drew $150.77 [my] out at Peoples
Bank. Morse busy packing his new
"Gladstone"
Hank went home with Walter from
school.
74 eggs

I found this ad from 1936 advertising Gladstone luggage. The prices range from $12 - $21, a fairly hefty price for the time.
I sensed a bit of pride and motherly love in Edna's noting that Morse was home packing his new "Gladstone." She even underscored with a single line for a bit of emphasis.
