Cold and rainy. Went to the depot and shop. Had no work. Sold 2 papers. Lew Warner escaped from justice. Was president of Hampshire Bank. 150-200,000 $ missing. I feel awfull lonesome as grass widower. Mrs. Warnack sent a bowl of Stew. Today was my mothers birthday. Letters received from M. Conors, Papa and Martha.
Editor’s note: A grass widower is a man whose wife is temporarily away from him.
