April 17, 1898

The first real hot day we had this year. Was clouding up in the afternoon and sprinkling a little towards evening. We did not go to church. I went to buy a newspaper and after diner took a walk with Martha around to the campus as far up Elm St. as Elm St. house and then back. Got acquainted with our new neighbor Mr Grenier a German tailor. Ed Frizzell was here in the later P.M. for a short visit, to see our new home. Had roasted chicken for diner.
