St. Patricks day. Raining in the morning but clearing up at about 10 o’clock and was the finest day we ever had. Richard went to the shop, but had no work. Received a letter from Mama and a postal card from papa Eisold congratulating R. to his birthday, 11 days to soon. Papa E. is feeling better now, and we are glad to have such good news. Rocketts moved to day, this was a hot time in the old town, the landlady attached goods for rest of rent. Mrs. R. made us a present with barrels, boxes and such things, useful for us. Martha went out after dinner for a short walk. Later visited Miss Brown and then R. & M. went to the shop, getting R. pipe, which he had forgotten and to the Herald and Gazette Office delivering some letters for business purposes. Had Bacon & Eggs for diner.
