Memoir of summer 1915 at Saluda, Mam'mie's illness, birth of Dee at Roper Hospital October 1915

In blue ink at the top, continuing from page 77:

That summer — 1915 — I was pregnant. I developed an acute bronchitis — and when I was well enough Dr. Gourrey made me go to the mountains. So Pickens and I went to Saluda and boarded with the Hutsons. They were wonderful people, and became very dear friends. Mam’mie also had an acute bronchitis and was desperately ill. They took her on a boat from Cain Island to a hospital in Sav. When her condition became so desperate — the Hutsons made me leave Pickens with them and go to Mam’mie in Sav.

[The second person taken ill is Mam’mie (Mary Anne Perry FitzSimons, the compiler’s mother), not Pickens; Amy left her toddler son in Saluda to attend her mother in Savannah.]

That fall Puck was sent to Charleston S. C. as superintendent of the Char. division of A. C. L.

We moved there and so stayed at 132 Rutledge Ave. Dee was born in Roper Hospital Oct 18th 1915.
