Sunday February 24th 1901 I was busy about the work all forenoon. read a little in the afternoon before Jennie & Earnest came they stayed till after supper and spent the evening. Monday February 25th 1901 The boys went to the valley for a load of stuff that had been left there and I did a big washing alone Rob Whetstone brought Mother and Legrand out in the afternoon. I was so glad to have them come. Tuesday February 26th 1901 I did the ironing before noon. Will and I went to town in the afternoon. I got some curtains for the house and sent draft to Maurice [Colbertson] to pay taxes on the place there and Will paid the Home interest We put up a couple of the curtains before supper Will and Mary Woolf came out to spend the evening. Wednesday February 27th 1901 I did some work about the house in the forenoon but in the afternoon I felt too miserable to do much of anything Thursday February 28th 1901 I was busy about the work all morning and thought I felt better but in the afternoon felt worse again I sewed a little Will went to town. I went to bed early.
