Was awful cold in the morning. Had a little thunder shower. New York papers did not come in, on account of a Railroad wreck near Bridgeport Conn. Business was dull. Received the first work from the library to day and a promise to get more. I hope the librarian will now stick to his word. A hard job for him, for he seldom does. Had Pork and french fried potatoes for diner. Received a little job from Easthampton and finished our bible and another little Book from our private Library. My business cards came in to day. The look fine and I hope, they’ll do good service. Martha stayed in the shop the afternoon. I rushed the growler, but Martha declined to drink and acted foolish otherwise. I was real mad for the first time that we are married.
