September 28, 1898

Weather is fair & cool. Mr Phelps paid me to day. Got my laundry and a haircut & shave from the new german barber. Got word from Forbes Library to get more books to be bound. Quite a number of people visited me to day and congratulated on our little prince. It does me good, to hear the compliments. If only Martha was here with the boy. I feel awfull lonesome without her. I wanted to see her to night, but could not afford it, for lack of funds. Will go out saturday evening and stay over sunday. I hope she is feeling well.
