Fine Weather. I went to work. Mailed a letter to Mama. Martha did not leave the house to day. Finished taken out Carpet tax. We will start to night packing some things, to save trouble by morning. I hope the good weather, we now have will continue, so we got easy moving. Congress did not answer the presidents message yet. I wonder what they are going to do. Had stewed Beef and Potatoes for diner. Will take the shop on Monday next on my own acount.
