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 although he hasn't a cold. It has kept me busy all day just doing the chires. Frank has felt a lot better but not well enough to be out Dick still still feels his eyespretty 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 fime Mr. has so,d about fifteen dollars worth of chickens and only spends about ten minutes a day in the bank. It has rained most of ther day but is colder to-nifght.
