Monday November 4th 1918
I went down for a treatment in the forenoon.
[deleted text: Fannie had a telegram from] Fannie was here in the
afternoon while Hattie went to Mrs Palmers funeral
at Ed Schraders house. On the bed most of the time.
Tuesday November 5th 1918
I was on the bed most of the day. I read some. Fannie
had a telegram from Ida for Aunty to come on. She
thought best to not attempt it. Rob took Will out to
Coralville to vote and Aunty went along for a drive.
It was a fine day. I wrote Ida. Will mailed the letter.
Wednesday November 6th 1918
We had a letter from Ida today explaining all. I was
down for treatment today. Aunt Emma Fannie &
Hattie called in the afternoon. Aunt not very well today.
Thursday November 7th 1918
I was terribly sick all day. I was scarcely of the
bed only when I went to my meals. Aunty better.
Friday November 8th 1918
I felt very badly all day. I went over with Rob at
supper time to stay all night with Hattie. We
visited while the folks went back to the store.
Saturday November 9th 1918
I was in bed till nearly noon. Fannie & Emily Bremmer
were up awhile. Will came over for dinner. We came
back at once. I took a treatment before coming
home. I am having a serious time with my stomach.
Hattie had letter from Ida she will be home tonight.
