Friday, May 4, 1888
Still cool & cloudy, with some rain A.M.  Our folks up extra early, & Rosa- had good sized wash well out of way before early dinner.  Clyde at home all day & on lounge good part time, quite sure he has "mumps" as think Leonard shows symptoms of also.  Geo- had letter from Ellery, but didn't come P.M. as tho't perhaps he might.  
Tho't self as well, but did have slight "unconsciousness" while at dinner. 

Saturday 5
Hardly as cool, & rather more pleasant.  After resting quite well, Clyde seems rather better, & out of errands some, but of course not as usual, Leonard not out & on lounge all P.M. taking no supper.  Mrs Post & Boys here part eve.  Think R- at W.C.T.U. meeting in P.M.  Ellery not here to dine with us as tho't he would be, & not coming in P.M. we conclude "bad roads" or circumstances in some way cause him to think best to wait till first of week.  
Rather better self, & packing away A.M. think me to leave soon.
