Tuesday August 8 1911  Mr & Mrs Hoffman went out to keep house for me today.  I did not get to sleep early last night and was with Mother all the rest of the night.  We called the Dr at 6 oclock.  I slept a couple of hours then and all afternoon.   Wednesday August 9 1911  Mother not so well and in the afternoon she had a very bad spell  We sent for the doctor and the boys but she got better.  Will down for the evening.  A terrible storm today.   Thursday August 10 1911   Mother about back where she has been before today.  I helped care for her and slept some  Will here most of the afternoon.  Mr [Bremer?] worse.   Friday August 11 1911   I slept late then helped care for Mother and slept more in the afternoon.  Weather very warm.  I wrote to Lydia.  Chautauqua begins tonight  I slept and read in afternoon.  Sat on porch in evening [illegible].
