Tuesday December 26th 1905 I coughed very bad all forenoon but did a little cooking and got dinner. Will went to town on the 12.30. He brought a report of Hatties trouble. He brought a few things put on the Christmas tree for us. I read a little in afternoon and evening. Wednesday December 27th 1905 I was busy most of the forenoon it was so late when we got up. I feel better today. Will went to town at 12.30. Jennie Danner here in afternoon. I wrote a letter to Lydia to thank her for picture received two days ago. Thursday December 28th 1905 I was busy about the work all forenoon. I washed out some handkerchiefs. Early dinner so Will went to town on the 12.30. I put in a wretched afternoon. I had the headache I got some supper. Will did up the work and I went to bed at seven oclock. Hattie is about the same, no better.
