The Corps drew lots as to who would be bandaged, there
being no volunteers, as it was cold and necesary to remove
Unaform etcetera. Elaine got number seven. The others then
practiced on her, having a book to go by.
I here add to this log Jane's report on William. He had
cleaned silver until 1 P. M., when he had gone back to the
kitchin and moved off the soup kettle to boil some dish towles.
The cook had then set his dish towles out in the yard and upset
the pan, pretending that a dog had done so. Hannah had told Jane
about it.
At 1:45 William had gone out, remarking that he was going
to the drug store to get some poizon for the cook. Jane had
followed him and _he had really mailed a Letter_.
APRIL 14TH. I have taken a heavy cold and am, alas, _hors
de combat_. The Familey has issued orders that I am to stay in
bed this A. M. and if stopped sneazing by 2 P. M. am to be
allowed up but not to go to Camp.
Elaine is in bed to, and her mother called up and asked my
Parents if they would not send me back to school, as I had upset
everything and they could not even get Elaine to the Dentist's,
as she kept talking about teeth being unimportant when the
safety of the Nation was hanging in the Balence.
