March 22, 1898

Snow & rain most all day. Richard went to the shop, but had only little to do. Received a telegram from Burroughs Bindery, Schenectady, NY as answer of my “ad” in the Sunday World, answered the same immediately. Found an “help wanted” in the Springfield Republican from the Eagle Bindery, Pittsfield, Mass as foreman and applied at once for position. I sincerely hope to get something soon, better paying as my present job. Mailed some German papers to Father Eisold. Martha went to the post office, took a little walk and visited Mrs. Currency. I got home at five and went out after supper to buy meat for to morrow. Sent C. Rew with the samples to Amherst. Frizzell paid half the fare. Had “Klose” and Beef stew for dinner. Martha dont like to move much farther away from Ludlow, her old home, as we are now, but I fear we got to, as bindings are not as plentyfull in this county. The war fever is still growing and I would not be surprised if war is the final result.
