April 6, 1898

Fine and clear, but cold. Went to work. Received a letter from Helene and from Mr Sheehan, E. H. Gave Frizzell some coal, paid rent. Martha cashed 4$ from Mr. Carley for Letter heads and mailed a letter to mama. Martha visited Mrs. Curenzie. Took the 1/2 past 6 cars to Easthampton and spoke to Mr. Sheehan about a position, which Martha waited outside. Promised to let me know by saturday if he takes me or not. Got back at 1/ 2 past 8. Martha did all her washing to day. Had Beef and Potatoes for diner. There is no war yet. McKinly is a fool and makes laughing stock out of us for the whole world. It is a shame.
