and said that all the dear girls & dear
B had come. It was bitter cold and
I was realy very unwell - from my c_____s
so I did not dare venture out. dear B
came to see me that same morning
and I went twice yesterday and the
same today to see Chas Toney. so he has
been kept in his room from his cold

Yesterday Flora came home & dined here

left her this evening at sunset & think
