Transcription Notes
Maud is very unwell and Dr Harpole, who phones me when I am at breakfast, evidently suspects diphtheria. Fortunately this makes him give up the case for lack of time to attend it and he hands it over to Dr Walker, the man who comforted me about Charlie when I was last in Chicago. He calls when I am taking classes at the Normal School and declares it to be a case of tonsillitis and not of diphtheria — which is comforting as far as it goes. I go down to class at 12-1, lunch with Mrs Moore for my guest, and then take the second class 2-3. Manage to buy some music paper and calf’s foot jelly for Maud on the way to my train in a heavy snow storm and get back at 4.30. Make tea and see after Maud for a while and then return to my book which with all this upset is going a bit slow. I am afraid it will be a long time before Maud will be strong enough to do anything. I only hope that I escape the plague and am able to do all the work which promises to be pretty stiff in the next 2 or 3 weeks. The Evanston people — Miss Lamkin — want me to take 5 evening classes which will mean 5 very strenuous evenings.Location
