Frid. 4th. Went in town after lunch. Bought some garters & a white blouse. Was going to a meeting of our chapter but was too late. Had tea with Mrs Hutcheson (a Miss Whitteker? was there) & then called on Mrs Ward. The Allens, [unclear], K. Graham & Mrs [Plummer?] were there. Got a wire from Ottawa saying "your application for transportation approved. Have written" signed Gen. Macdonald. Quite exciting. Am awaiting the letter with much interest. Sat by the fire in the eve. & tried to think things out. Feel rather puzzled [as?] to what I ought to do.
Sat. 5th. Did not go out all day. Was busy looking after the children etc. Sadie had tea with me & told my fortune after. Rose was out in the eve. & so was Margaret for a while so I had a busy time washing the dishes & getting the children to bed. Took a hot bath later. The library chimeny caught on fire which caused a little excitement. Digby was out so Mr Hepburn came over.
Sun. 6th. Margaret has a sore throat so stayed in bed all morning. I went to Communion Service at [1?.30]. Saw the Hutchesons coming out. Read & had a nap in the aft. & went to the Langleys to tea. Mrs Robertson & Mr Wilson were there. Went to eve. service after putting the kiddies to bed. Began a book called "[unclear] of [unclear]".
Mon. 7th. Lovely day. Wen in town after the usual work with the kiddies & tidying up. Got some cards to send to Salisbury Plains. Walked home. Washed the luncheon dishes for Rose (washing day). Lady Tupper was here to tea. Got a letter from the Government enclosing a pass to Ottawa! Have very mixed feelings about going out but I suppose it is too good a chance to use. Mrs Russell, Mrs Hamber & Miss Cowan were here to tea.
