Rain and snow. Got about 4-6 inches. I’ve been busy all day. Washed windows, ironed, swept, dusted, got sand. Material ready to leave for Billie. Packed  suitcases etc. Billie sick was sore throat and a cold. Bill and I down to Betty’s for supper. Walt and Zak up here for a little while.

Monday, January 3, 1972 Walt took Bill to the New England Baptist Hospital

This morning about 7:45 we left for Boston. Walt took us up. We was about one hour going to Portland. He got us to the hospital at about 11 o’clock. Bill and I went in and Dorothea. I don’t know what I would have done if it hadn’t been for Dorothea getting me through those old subway stations. She was such a help to me. We was so glad to get out to Verna and Brud’s. We had such a nice time out there. They were so good to us. Kids and all.

Rain. Dorothea and I went back to the hospital this morning to see Bill. He was glad to see us. We stayed till quarter of five them we left for Verna’s. When we got to Sullivan Square we took a bus right to Stoneham. We had a miserable day as it rained. I got my head wet and I guess I’m coming down with a cold.
