The weather to day was a little more comfortable, but still hot enough to roast. Martha did washing to day but it taxed her awfull. I wish I could earn money enough to give washing out, as long as she is under such circumstances. I got up as usuall, tended to my paper business, paid up some bills and took in a few little jobs. Papers sold slow this morning, but I expect better sale to morrow. Went down stairs after supper to cool of and had a little conversation with Mrs Grenier. She sent some roses to Martha. Wrote a letter to mama. Will mail it to morrow.
