Cloudy and cool. Fine weather to work. Received a letter from Curt with money. Deposited enough in the Northampton National bank for the House rent and brought the rest, 35.00 in the Savings bank. Shipped Belchertown books to day and delivered one in to Forbes Library. Gave in Aplication papers for situation as Mail Carrier. Finished a book for Charles Gramwell and bought a bench for our dining room. Martha feels fine to day. Wrote a letter to the Republican. I must give up paper business when I cant get this paper, not having it, spoils my business. Lee bothers me for money. Will pay him as soon as I get the check for school work. Hard times all over and no prospect for better.
