February 9, 1898

Little cloudy & verry warm. Snow is running off fast. Discovered another break in the water pipe. Richard worked. Got home at half past 5 o’clock and made a bench for the washtubs. Martha didn’t leave the house. Had “Pambus” for diner. Richard was presented with a pair of good mettens from Mrs. Ch. T. Lawrence, LH. Martha takes a hot foot bath every evening. Richard made a “tagebuch” or Mama.

 

Editor’s note: a tagebuch is a diary.
