Had several hours in Chicago and was taken by auto to Hinsdale San. for treatment. Reached her “Elmshaven” home Jan. 17, thankful that her life had been spared. Gradually improved in health in following weeks, and continued her writing (even while so ill in Nashville). Tested her voice by speaking a short while in Calistoga church March 15.RY 202.3
