Wednesday January 12th

Dad. has been in bed all day and feels properly sick I guess he has the grip like all the rest of them althoug he hasn't a cold. It has kept me busy all day just doing the chores. Frank has felt a lot better but not well enough to be out. Dick still {feels his?} eyes pretty sore. Nicholson & Hazen came over to see him this evening. They told him not to try to come to work. Hazen told me last night they were getting along fine Mr. {Name?} has sold about fifteen dollars worth of chickens and only spends about ten minutes a day in the bank. It has rained most of the day but is colder to-night.
