August 13, 1898

Light rain in the morning. Cleared up at about 9 o’clock. Paper sale, rotten, Bindery good. Mama, Papa & Albert arived here at 10 o’clock team. Martha is feeling good. Went shopping with all of them. Bought Mama a new table cloth for a birth day present and gave Albert one of my paper carts. He was as happy over it as a bed bug. I worked in Rahars to night and Martha was there with the whole company to hear the concert and drink a glass of beer. We all went home together at 1/2 past 11 o’clock, so, got to bed late.
