I took the sheet I made for the Bazaar out to Carrie Andreson and called on Mrs. Weld on Dodge St.  It began to rain as I came home at 4.40  Jimmie came an hour later.  I was busy till late bed-time  It was still raining  It was thirteen years today that Edith died.  I was so cold.   Sunday December 10 1911   It was a windy disagreeable day.
