Page 37

Wednesday May 15 1907
It was a showery unpleasant day.  The boys doing some work about.  Billy fixed the chicken house windows for me.  I got some hens for Mother tonight I am still very hoarse.  Will went to town and got medicine for me.  Preston [Kover?] was married at 7.30 this evening to Miss Cora Myers near North Liberty.  
Thursday May 16 1907
I slept well last night and think I am feeling some better.  I am very hoarse but my throat not so sore.  Will finished planting the corn on our farm today.  "Lady" has a nice little mule colt.  Ralph is at work at the painting.  Weather some pleasanter.
Friday May 17 1907
It was such a pleasant day.  I was out around the yard a good deal.  Will busy about the place all forenoon and to town in the buggy in afternoon.  I sewed some.
Saturday May 18 1907
I had baking on hand for today and got up a nice dinner.  LeGrand brought Mother out and she stayed till 5.37.  We had such a good visit.  Will planted corn down on the Woolf land.  Mary was here a little while in the afternoon.  I am better, not so hoarse today.
