September 11, 1898

Extra fine and cool weather. Martha & I stayed in bed, till we got called for breakfast. Then hung around the house, went all over the farm, looked at our apple orchard, etc. Our trees are growing fine, and we will have a good orchard in a few years. At about 5 o’clock I hitched up Old Bill and gave Martha a ride to Louis Freitag and around the lot. We both took very much pleasure in it. Got to bed early.
