September 25, 1898

Cloudy and rainy. The boy seems to feel tip top but Martha has got kind of fever. Milk fever I should call it. I stayed with them most all day, but had to leave them at 1/2 past seven o’clock p.m. to come home here and tend to my business. I am not afraid now for the future, because everything seems favorable. The child is healthy and the mother got the usual sickness only. I hope with all my heart that nothing comes between. I will soon get out again and see, how things are going on.
