Cloudy & cool. Rained little toward evening. Received a letter from Martha, stating that papas health is improving. All the nighbors being very kind, asking about his feeling. The are taking much intrest. Mrs. Warnack sent me up a plate of baked beans. Finished my private library Books to day and brought them home. Business is at a stand still. I hardly know what to do if it keeps on this way. Cant think of nothing else to make a living, except going back in Liquor business. Expect Martha back monday.
