February 14, 1898

Weather started to be fine, but rained and snowed in the afternoon, cleared up in the evening. Richard worked. Martha went with the Boys to the Library and got a pair of Rubers in Alberts Store. The boys left with the 1.45. Martha took them to the station. Sent 1 month dues to Meriden and letters to M. Whitney, our parents, and brother Arthur congratulating him to his birthday. Received a forgetting Bill from Fitts, amounting to 1.36$. Must be a mistake somehow. Sent a pair of Rubers and a letter back to Robert Smith, Springfield. Had Rice & Beef for diner. Martha changed Books in Forbes Library and called on Richards shop twice.
