Didn't sleep much last night
but lay with one eye open, didn't
want to sleep after 4 am, arose at
that hour sharp; it is raining but I
get breakfast and Sr goes to the barn
to feed & harness old Nell and just as
I'm taking up the breakfast for Sr,

a very bad cough & cold and Reid

rain. Sr with 3 or 4 over coats on D with
one and an umbrella. I call Tom

back to bed and sleep all fore noon
