Weather again cool, pleasant enough to work a short time in the Yard. I planted Lillies that Ethel Cooper gave me. There is one mine and the other is Ethel's. It clung to the clump and they came off together so I shall return it when I see her which I hope will be soon. Her little daughter Janice had that Bad Sore Throat when she was here last week. Scripture read Matt. 22:35-40, Luke 10:1-9

Last night was bad for me, too warm in my room to sleep and the neuralgia made me sick. Received a letter from Loys. Al is in Nebraska on business. They sent money to Pete and Ethel to help care for Mr. Cooper. Mary and Nora Lee Porter came to bring me a Lunch and Ice. Opal Farnsworth is at the Store. Dad is going to help fix water gap. A man is with him. Opal and Nora will spend the day with Mary at the Store until Dad is back from work.

Cecil and Lena were here. They are through making hay and combining. Lena is going to can Corn. I gave her an armload of flowers and Irises to set in her yard.

Elizabeth Hatfield's boy baby twins were born at Noon. One of them died.

I have a severe headache from summer cold and can't sleep.
