Early this morning I took
Nettie to the Hospital.
Waited there all day
but no news.

Matt’s Notes
Fear not: nothing was wrong with Papa’s sister Nettie. Though Papa hadn’t mentioned it before, she’d been pregnant all year and was now in labor. I’m not sure where her husband Phil was, but Papa was accustomed to helping his sisters out in various ways (you’ll recall how Papa paid for Phil’s English lessons, though that didn’t work out so well) so I’m not surprised it fell to him to take Nettie to the hospital.
Stand by…
