Dear Don,

If you could only se me now! Now don't get alarmed and I'll tell you soemthing. I sick in bed with influenza and for fear when the nurse comes she won't let me wirte,I'm wringin this so you know why I don't write.

Dont' let this worry you but a letter occassionally would be appreciated. I never dreamt I'd get it but here I am. My temp is only 99 so you see that's not bad. Dashed awfully & I have a bad cough but the Dr. says its a mild case.

Edythe has it too and we are in bed here together. Her temp is higher but she doesn't ache so. Two other teachers in the House have it. We tried in Dulth & St. Pual to get a nurse but couldn't. A practical nurse is ocming tomorrow.

Write & tell Ruth but don't let it alamr her. If I get worse I'll let you know. Tell her I won't be ableto send Betty anyting. She'll wender when she doens't hear from e.

Dad's address is Franklin Hotel. I woulnd't think of having any one compe up. OF the nurse we get is impossible I guess I'll wire Dad to send one.

I'll have someone drop you a card often.

Loving, Leone
