Sunday February 13 1910 I was up at work all forenoon but went to bed at 1.30 I had company in afternoon. Mary & Jennie Ott & Fannie were out.  They brought us some things for the table. I was so sick Dr Smith came at 7.39 Monday February 14 1910 I put in a sick day. Hattie came out at 9.39. Rob sent me beautiful flowers for a Valentine. In the afternoon Charlie & Tishie Hedges were out. Hattie did not go home till 5.12. Mrs Jones was over in the evening Tuesday February 15 1910 I was very sick all night. Hattie came out in the morning to take care of me and get Wills dinner I could not hold my head up all day. Dr Smith came out late in the afternoon to see me.
