13, 1897 – Saturday
It didn’t rain yesterday nor today, and this
evening I went for a solitary walk in the field. But I couldn’t go far, for it
was muddy, and besides I hadn’t walked for long that my legs ached. Yesterday I
was right cheerful all day, but this was one of my dark days, and I’ve felt my
dependence so much and have been miserable. Then, too, I have not felt well. I
want to see my Pard so.

Poured down rain Sunday and Mon., but the
sun came out Tues. today it began clouding up again. I do wish the weather
would stay good, so the girls could get over. This evening I took a long walk
in the field – Leo says I walked nearly three miles altogether – for I want to
get my legs limbered up, so I can walk over home as soon as the roads permit. Besides
my health depends on it. I’ve gotten into such a nervous state, and suffer so
from my limbs jerking, that I’ve written to Duncan to see if he can help me.
Mama is just up from one of her spells.

Felt much better today from yesterday’s
walk, and this eve took another, but didn’t go as far, as it was late. I spent
most of my time in sewing, so by evening felt the need to exercise. Had a
letter from Pard today, and she wants me to go over Sat. So I’ll go, if it
doesn’t rain; but, oh! I’m mightily afraid it will. Mr. Gassic is come up that same
day. Mama has been feeling miserable all day.
