It was high time to start that fight, for the old grippe had nearly got me. To say sooth, I’m not using any of the deadly modern weapons. Only thing I’ve done is stop smoking for three days, gargle five or six times a day with salt water and sleep lots. Today I feel better. Throat doesn’t hurt much. There is, fortunately or otherwise, nothing doing now, so I may devote all my thoughts to this pet malady.
I finished “Soldiers Three” and “In Black and White.” Now I am deep in Booth Tarkington’s “Conquest of Canaan”. If you’ve never read it, do so.
