A continuation of Beautiful weather, calm and clear, pleasant for early Winter. Mary and Frank are both down town for first time since I've been sick and suffering. I see the School buses have gone for the Day. It is now Noon. My Ear is no Better and my Throat will remain Sore until my Ear gets well. Scripture reading Daniel 5:10-16

Time seems longer when I'm alone but I'll try to employ it as Best as I may until night. Am too weak to accomplish any work but can Crochet a little while sitting in Easy Chair upholstered with Pillows for my comfort. About 2 P.M. Mary brought Frank to the house. He cooked a lunch for he and I. Mary still insists on having a Doctor to treat my Throat and ear, but as the Rising is open now and running pus I see no use in having one called in as long as I'm conscious. A letter from Mildred tonight. She was sick in bed for 4 days. Her head hurt so long. Ralph was abed for several days too. The children are back in school again. Poor little young mother so far from me, but may it is Better for each of us would Worry over the Other and would be helpless to aid the Other. God will Watch over us.
