Marj. didn't want any. I have been doing house work all day and the house looks like it. It is a good thing Marj. is in bed and can't see it or she would be sicker than she is. Fortunately for us Frank came out this fore noon and got the apples for Dorrie & Phyl and took them down and expressed them for us, so we sent word by him to the doctor and he came out this after noon. He told Marj. to stay in bed for a couple of days and he thought she could go to the Christmas dinner all right but as it is at the farm on the day before Christmas which is the day after tomorrow we very much doubt if Marj. will get to it. I went over to the school house this fore noon to tell Mabel we couldn't have her over to dinner and that we wouldn't be able to get the kids over to her Christmas tree concert this after noon. She sent over a present for each of them a ball for the baby a broom & dust pan for Gay and a drawing book for Harry B. and in the mail we got a rattle a doll and a top, which we figured out was from Ina so they have had a great time with their new toys.
