Was busy about work in forenoon and over to
Janes in afternoon and took treatment. I came past the dry store to
get [plaster?] for my throat. I doctored up and went to bed early.

I was in all day. weather cold and cloudy. I read
and did the work. Jane was over late in afternoon.
I wrote a long letter to Lydia in evening. Letter from Lorie.
Thursday October 15th 1914
Wrote Hattie. I felt better and was out in afternoon
the weather is getting nice again. I am working on
lace for a center piece. A letter from Hattie.
Art Mc-- spent the evening with us.
Friday October 16th 1914
I felt so well I did a lot of cleaning and went over
to Janes to read a long letter I had from Lydia and
ate my dinner there. Will went with Art Mc-- to a sale.
I took treatment in afternoon and was down town. Stopped
at Janes. Will was there. We went back over in the evening.
Saturday October 17th 1914.
I passed a bad night with my throat. I did the work
and in afternoon decided to start home Monday
morning. Will went down town but could not get in
a bank to get money. I was over to Janes and went
up to have Dr Knight treat my throat and he
gave me a gargle. Ira spent thee vening with us.
I had a letter from Addie Fletcher Nutter & card from Lizzie Lindley.
