Page 120

Sunday March 1st 1908
I have cold and did a lot of sneezing today.  I did some baking in the morning and wrote letters all afternoon and evening.  I wrote to May, Emma Bivens Alvin [Harty?] and J J [Huebner?].  Will put in most of the day reading.
Monday March 2 1908
Was busy with the work all forenoon and in the afternoon and evening hemmed napkins that Mother gave me more than a year ago.  I am feeling some better.  It was seven years ago today that Lee died in Colorado Springs
Tuesday March 3rd 1908
I was busy sewing when not at the housework  I finished the napkins at bed-time.  Will to town this afternoon
Wednesday March 4 1908
I went to town at 9.10.  I took some things up to the parsonage for the kitchen shower this afternoon.  I did some errands and meeting Hattie went home with her.  I then went over to Aunt Libs before dinner  I stopped at Otts and he made the correction in my will for me.  I spent the afternoon with Mother & Hattie coming home from town at 4.30.  I did not get to see Dr Smith today.  Weather much milder.
