A nasty rainy day. M. & Baby are feeling well. I got home at 1/4 of eleven o’clock and tended to diner & Baby while Martha went shopping for x mass presents. Our fun is spoiled, as I expected, we received another letter from Mama & got advised from the Dr. not to go home, as it is to dangerous for Baby. I will however send Martha out Saturday night, leaving here at 5 o’clock p.m. & returning with the 11:15.
s.o.s.
Martha had her washing on the line for three days & it isn’t dry yet, so she must take it in and bake it at the stove. The “grippe” is everywhere around here, and no wonder, as this weather keeps on. I am most sure, we all will get her as company. It is to bad that we cant go Ludlow for x mass we hoped for it such a long time, but under circumstances we better stay at home and take no chances.
Editor’s note: Grippe is German for the flu.
