Tuesday March 9th 1915 I still feel badly about my stomach took some medicine I unpacked my trunk and helped Will fix the till that was broken. I cleaned the cellar and kitchen. Wrote to Hattie. Cora came out late in afternoon and Rob at supper time. Did not stay late. Wednesday March 10th 1915 I slept better than for several days and am all over my car sickness. I swept and cleaned the house today. It is still so cold the snow does not thaw much. I had a letter from Nellie and from John O'Neil today. Thursday March 11th 1915 I washed some things in the forenoon besides baking a cake. I read and sewed some in the afternoon and evening. Friday March 12th 1915 Will & I went down at 9:15. We walked over to look at Frank Danvers place. Then over on Market St & Avenue to look at properties of Jerry Plums with a view of trading ours for them. There was nothing that invited. I went over to Fannies for dinner. She had other company there. Will got the dinner in town and came home earlier than I at 5:30. Saturday March 13th 1915 I was at home all forenoon. I wrote to Hattie. Will was in town in the afternoon. I went down to see Mary Woolf. read a little in evening. Sunday March 14th 1915 It was so stormy we did not attempt to go to church. I got our dinner and read some and talked with Will. I felt tired and [stupid?] so went to bed early.
