Page 159

Tuesday July 18 1911   I did some baking today.  Rested in afternoon and went down to stay all night.  Mother no better.  A letter from Lydia telling of Uncle Jacobs last illness.   Wednesday July 19 1911   Mother was very quiet so I slept some.  I did some washing and the other work.  I went down to spend the evening.  Rob & Cora took me to town to the 9.30 car.  Thursday July 20 1911  I did a little extra house work.  After dinner I wrote Lydia.  Winnie Mary Briggs & Aunt Sarah.  I took a sleep before going down home to stay all night.   Friday july 21 1911  I came home at 6.30  I was busy all forenoon with the work.  I slept all afternoon.  Went down home for the evening.  Rob & Cora took me to town to the depot.   Saturday July 22 1911   Will went to see the show [illegible].  Took dinner with Rob & Cora and went with them.  I did some extra work in the morning.  I went down home at 3.15.  Mother is very weak  She would not try to be dressed and is out on the couch tonight.  She suffers very greatly.
