The wind blew strong from N.W. all
last night, making it very cold with
thermometer 8o Mrs. Mary G Tyson
died last night at about 15 minutes
before 9. o'clock. I feared she would
not last through the night when I left
her at about dark. She was a superior
woman in many ways, & her death
will leave a blank difficult to fill.
I have been so constantly going for
some weeks past that I am almost
worn out with exposure to the cold &
anxiety & responsibility. and remained
in doors all day to day to rest, I fear
I have taken some cold, but with care
will be able to keep going. Eleanora Bell

& had him "roughed," & I gave him exercise

now, whilst I am so busy with other
