Hail storm all day, slightly colder. Richard was in the shop as usually but had no work at all. Frizzell went to the Chicopee falls attending to a funeral so R. had to keep the shop open. Received a letter from Arthur Hiersche, Ludlow. Had Salt pork & Murphys for dinner. Martha is expected back with 6.24 to morrow, if she dont prefer to come at noon. I wish she would. Wrote a letter to Louis Stuckert, Springfield. Expect news from Germany.
