Weather very nice and pleasant for Winter. Grace come by on her way to Clinton Laundry. She will be gone all day. Mary went with her and will visit with Ruth Reed while there. So pretty outdoors. I wish it was good for me to get out. Am thankful I'm able to be up and can wait on myself, can look out the windows, see the cars and passengers going here, there and everywhere full of Life and Cheerfulness. Grace seems to get along as well as anyone else. She never borrows trouble but takes Life as it comes. God Bless her and her children.
Essa wrote that her son, Sewell Simmons, had joined the Navy on New Year's Day and she was weeping all the days. Paul has never come back and Guy regrets that for Guy has always taken an older brother's interest in Paul. Scripture reading Isaiah 40: 28-31, Matthew 5:22
