Tuesday night

My dear Jim,
This is the first night since I got your last letter that I felt able to
answer it. I headed the sick list this time. Though not laid up in
bed, I suffered the most intense pain from a swelled face resulting
from a cold caught very probably one Sunday night coming home
when it was trying to snow and rain at the same time.
It settled principally on my ear (the outside) which had to be
lanced. My, what did I suffer! Poor Ellen was nurse and a good one
too. I went around with my various duties as best I could, but am
glad to say that I feel so much better tonight.
I thought of you a lot, Jim, and I hope ye» are well, so I must now
finish hoping my next note may be longer, but you know you have
my love anyhow and accept this scribble. Good night and write
me soon.
fondly as ever Annie
