A warm rain all night & through most the whole day. Awfull foggie towards evening. Richard went to the shop, but there was no work. Had a shave and haircut. Paid and ordered coal and went shopping. Mrs. Charles Smith was here and Martha took a walk with her & visited Mrs. W. Striker, Pleasant St. Richard met Martha and Mrs Smith on Main St. Went together to the Meat market, bought Meat & Eggs, and from there, went to Beekmans Candy store and then home. Received a letter from Mama and a business letter from Enterprise, Easthampton, containing samples, etc. Looks more like war now, than it ever looked before. Richard would like to go, Martha won’t let him. Had fried eggs & mashed Potatoes for diner. Richard changed Library books.
