this afternoon. Frank went down town to-night. Very nice day.

Sunday April 20th

This has not seemed very much like Easter to me and has been any thing but a day of rest. I went over to Tupper's about half past nine this morning after we had done our own chores and was all the morning over there. Tupper was lying in the lounge in the house and gave me instructions about feeding every thing which I found difficult to keep straight in my head but I followed them as well as I could and thought that as long as every thing got some thing to eat that they needn't worry. While I was over there Dr. Cook came and ordered Tupper to bed as he had quite a fever and told me to go down to Hanselman's and get a nurse there and bring her out to Tupper's. It was just twelve o'clock when I got home and all the family had gone down to church and as Dad. had Joe and the buggy I had to wait till he got home about half past one before I could go after the nurse. By the time I got her, took her out and got home again it was after three. Dad. and Frank were just having their lunch alone as Enah and Tid. had stayed

down so that Enah could go to Mrs. Hobbes for after noon tea. I had my dinner and sat around for a half an hour or so and then went back to do Tupper's night chores. Nurse Little gave me some money to get her some beef and whisky so just as I got home about dark Dad. was starting off in the buggy to get Enah and I gave him the order and he managed to get the goods. Frank went down to the corner with him with a bag full of cats which he left in the pond. Dad. thought there were too many around and there is a very big family of little rabbits out now and he didn't want them killed. There are still two tabbys here each with a family of kittens. Enah got home soon after Dad. left. She had been in at Uncle Ward's and he had missed her. It rained this morning but was very nice after noon.
