Began a letter to Alfred. Knit some in my blue slippers. My eyes and head ached so I did not read. My cough is very tight but I have no fever at all.
Helen came and brought me some tablets, Zymole* for which I paid her 1 fr. 80 cents. 36 cents for a 25 ct. article.
We had tea about five. I hate tea. Helen says she is coming out here next week. She is having a dress and a suit made, very nice ones.
Florence had a letter from Mollie and she is better. Also one from Marion. She says Edith** is a little better but too weak to leave the house. Little Marion has whooping cough.
*”Why wait for that hoarseness to ‘wear off,’ when Zymole Trokey will stop it so much quicker? Disagreeable coughs are often avoided by the use of "Zymole Trokeys.” This is from a 1908 advertisement.
**Edith is Marion's daughter (b. 1883) who married to John Graeff Kennedy. “Little Marion” is their daughter born in 1908.

When it says Florence had a letter from "Mollie", it is referring to her daughter Mary Humphrey Metcalfe(my great grandmother). Everyone called her Mollie.
