Page 97

Friday March 7th, 1913
I put in very little time with the house work. I got
my comfort done by working awhile in the evening and
then I finished my book. weather better than yesterday.
Saturday March 8th 1913
Did the work and had dinner so Will went to town at
12:15. I went an hour later, spent most of the afternoon
with Fannie and then we both went up to Hattie awhile. I 
was there till 7:15. I came to town with William and on
home. The weather was so warm it thawed nearly all the snow.
Sunday March 9th 1913
Will had a slight cold so did not go to church with me.
I got dinner and wrote some after I got home. We heard
from Mary Woolf that Mr Munger died this morning. Cora
came out late in afternoon and Rob for supper and to spend
the evening. I read some in "Nancy Stair."
Monday March 10th 1913
I did the work and wrote a letter to Sue & Sallie Reed.
A letter from Sue tells us she can see again after an 
operation on her eyes. I spent the afternoon at Mary Woolfs
and finished my book in the evening. 
Tuesday March 11th 1913
I went down town in the morning to see Dr Smith. I was
not well enough to go to Mr Mungers funeral in the PM
Will went without me. Hattie & Fannie were out to spend
the afternoon with me. I read a little and went
to bed early.
