August 22, 1898

Nice but warm weather. Paper business rotten. Got in more work and got more promissed for next week. Martha was with me in the shop and helped working. Bought some apples & other eatables. Tried 9 diff. stores to get colored silk, but all in vain. Received a letter from Mama & Mabel Whitney. Forbes Library sent check for 6.20. Sent check to News Co.
