The day was fine and cool weather. Just fine for the cattle show, which is to day and to morrow. I will not go there, because the ask a good stiff price for admission and have hardly any atractions. I went home at noon as usually to eat my diner, but got left badly, as I forgot my keys. So I went back and bought a lunch in Parnells which I rinsed down with a glass of lager. I am now cooking split peas for to morrow and, you bet, look out for the keys. Wont forget them again. Mr. Sanderson from Hatfield was here to get his books. The payment for them arrived at noon. Finished most all the jobs on hand, but have promise for more. Sent checks to Steiger & Co, and Houghton, Mifflin & Co. and wrote letter to Hatfield and germ. am. Pr. Co. Holyoke, the last named, containing this weeks report. Received more groceries. Started to make up Marthas new washline, cleaned the stove and dit other house work. One book received from the Forbes which I promised to bind and deliver to morrow p.m. Received a letter from Martha. Everything is all right out there. Wife & kid are well so that I think I can take them home on monday next. I hope so anyhow for I would enjoy myself better, having them here. I am so glad that all is O.K. how Martha says. Bound 3 story books from our private library. Will bind more when I get the chance.
