Nellie Swisher here for a call. Evening reading.
Rob & the girls to Des Moines today.
Thursday November 21st 1935
I was up early. Emma came to sew and while
Mrs Gay went to the shop awhile she fixed the
green dress Hattie gave me last spring. I slept
in afternoon. Letter from Mrs Falk. wrote Winnie.
Friday November 22nd 1935
I finished hemming some napkins. Mrs Gay did not
go back very soon after lunch. She got word that
48 of their fine sheep had been stolen. Cora & Blanche
went to Chicago as did William & Mary. Rob to Des Moines.
Hattie came for me late in the PM to stay the
week end with her. I coughed a lot last night
and did not feel very well today. I was so
short of breath in the evening Hattie telephoned
Dr Ned and he sent up some thing from the
store. a cold raw air.
