Friday, March 1, 1901 Again fine Weather, all of us well and strong but have bad coughs, I have been busy writing all day Frances spent the day in Chicago To night we expect to dinner Mrs Sheridan Badger and his wife we had a telephone from them that they would not be out until half past six, as their son Alpheus Badger had made all his arrangements to go to the Hospital to have his nose operated on, when he was five years old, he and a little friend were throwing Stones at a fence, and a stone came flying back, and struck him on the bridge of the Nose, breaking the bone. So now he has had his nose operated on, and is sick at blank Hospital Gertrude stayed with him until it was all over, and she saw him in his bed, then they came here as it was raining Shreve sent a Carriage to depot for them, and also sent them back to Depot in the Carriage when they left that night
