It was a cloudy day. I was busy with the work all
morning. Will had a cold so I went down town on the
12.30 car. I was at the Doctor's office he gave me
more medicine. I talked with Will and read to him
till time to do evening work after coming home.
Hattie seems better today so they will not change doctors.
