It is December 1889 and I am tired now but I must make the tea for Uncle John and then do my homework. I miss Nell but I am glad she is happy with her work in Toronto even if it so difficult to be a lady doctor. My Pa says she is brave. It is easier for Cousin Ab since he is a man.
I have not written in my Journal for a long time. School and church and farm chores and visiting take up all my time but some terrible news came today, good for selfish me but bad for Nell.
The terrible news is Nell has pneumonia, the good news for me is that she must come home from Toronto to get better. Cousin Albert is coming with her and he will start a medical practice here in Mount Forest. Cousin Will is coming home, too, he will be their assistant, I think. They will both be doctors here when Nell gets better. I am worried about her, but I am glad she is coming home. I will have to sleep on a pallet bed in her room with her. I will look after her till she is well. I am frightened that she will not get better but I am happy that she will be here.
