Mary's brief entry today reads only: "I was still in bed very sick. So was Marguerite." But in yesterday's entry she describes Agnes' condition. They were finally able to round up a doctor in the evening of October 8, who indicated that Agnes was "a very sick girl." She says that all she did was cough and no one had realized before that how sick she was. And then at three o'clock (morning of October 9) "Agnes left us to join Mamma and Florence."
