To day was the hottest we had so far. All my papers was sold out by 1/2 past 7 o’cl. Didn’t have a quarter enough. Better report about the battle are coming in. Stayed at home most all day. Shouting and hollering began early this morning, mixed up with thundering in the distance. Hope it comes here to cool off and clear the air. Our little rosestock was full of lice, but I hope we pull him trough all right. Want to take a little car ride, but must wait for the shower to go by, as Martha is awfull afraid. Got myself pretty well rested now and feel strong enough, to put in another weeks hard work. Tug some earth for Marthas flowers and got to buy a few more tulips. Took in a piece of ice and found it to be a pleasing thing in such weather. Mailed a letter to Ernst with a little birthday present. We left for Meadow Park at 5 o’clock by the electric, then walked to Easthampton, listened to the concert and trank a few glasses of beer in the Turn hall. Got home with the cars and arived here at about 1/2 past 9 o’clock. The night was cool and refreshing & we slept like the Lord in… Martha is feeling pretty well, after this long walk.
