Jan. 31-Feb. 6
I'm up this week. Brother Jim calls. He is very deaf. Suffer much with headaches and earaches from the measles
which affect my hearing. Get down in the sitting room by Saturday. Found myself reading, sewing and
entertaining callers. Bad news from home. Poor Bruno has met with an untimely fate; was killed by a tree
falling upon him while with the servants in the mountains. He was a dear old dog and we will miss him much
on our walks and romps. Poor Sue, I know her heart is heavy at the loss of her pet. Little Dick very sick and Dr.
Leitch goes to see him and puts a blister on his back, a severe remedy for so young a child. Ellen is also sick.
