Apr. 15. Wednesday. Lilly Greve came to visit us. Have written two letters to Scotia one to Benton, the other to the two families. (T.S.R. 34. 2 P.M. 58. S.S. 53.)

Apr. 16. Thursday. We had a sudden shower of rain and hail accompanied with high wind - a regular squall- lasting but a short time this P.M. Hannah Geffroy called after it had passed. She is nursing Mrs. Perks who is doing seemingly well. Luther is forty years old and poorly in health. For months he has had a white-coated tongue with frequent spells of fever, although he has been constantly under a Dr.'s care. Now he thinks he will go to Nevada to spend the summer, hoping the change of climate may benefit him. But in order to do so, he must dispose of his butcher business in some way, either to sell or rent, so he is trying to find a buyer or renter. If he succeeds, he intends to start as soon as the snow is sufficiently off the mountains. I cannot realize that I have a son forty years old. Have received a letter from Eunice and written to Oakland. (T.S.R. 34. 2 P.M. 58. S.S. 50.)

Apr. 17. Friday. Lizzie McLellan was taken sick yesterday and the doctor and nurse - Mrs. Flanders - were here all last-night. Received letters from Ada and George. (T.S.R. 35. 2 P.M. 62. S.S. 54.)

Apr. 18. Saturday. Weather cloudy and cold, as cold that we have decided to set up a stove in the corner room, where Lizzie is lying sick. Received letters from Willie and Calvin. (T.S.R. 40. 2 P.M. 58. S.S. 50.)

Apr. 19. Sabbath. Lizzie McLellan's first son was born this morning at 8 o'clock. She has four daughters. The babe is small and delicate. We have had showers this evening. (T.S.R. 38. 2 P.M. 59. S.S. 45.)
