came over with them. To-night Aunty Alice went over to Mrs. battersby's to borrow a book and I went with her. I also took Mrs. Charlie Martin a settinfg of eggs for which she paid me forty cents. I see by today's "Norlfolk reformer" that Capt. Simpson left this morning for England to join the Army Service Corps, I wisj I had been up to drill before he went. Dick said to-night that May Ivey who is at the Culp's with plural pneumomia is not expected to live through the night. It froze hard again last night and did a lot of damage I guess. Some of our tomato plants in the garden were nipped and some were not, has been sunny but a very cold wimd all day from the north.
