A beautiful day, showers in the evening. Have made up my mind to do no more work for the surgeon in charge, have never shown a spirit of insubordination before but now I will have my rights or nothing. Received a good letter from my sister Helen M. Sweet, a good truly kind letter. In the evening commenced answer to the same. No word from Judith, feel curious and put out, can think of no reason why no letter came, must search in my own heart and think if I have written aught that was not right. Feel well but unhappy.
