Got up as usually and tended to my routine business. The weather was clear and awfull hot most all day. A couple of good showers however cooled it off considerable. I went to the depot to the 6.24 train. Martha arived in time. I am so glad, she has got back in good health. I fear for her and our baby. Papa is feeling considerable better and I am glad of it. My apple trees are allright as Martha says and of a good stock. We will have fruit in 4-5 years, more as we can consume. Bought myself a new pair of shoes to day in Alberts. Mr. Rahar wants me as waiter for evenings in his Beer garden. Dont know yet it I will do it. Brown Brothers in Rochester still bothering papa about them trees I ordered, but didnt take. They are foolish. I cancelled that order on February the 8th. That should be sufficent for anybody, not to deliver goods, when the order is taken back in time. It seems to be a poor lot of business men.
