Cold, cloudy & stormy with Rain showers. Baby feels uneasy and Martha weak & tired. I stayed at home to two o’clock, helped her doing housework to give her a chance for a most needed rest, which, to all appearance, did her very good. For the same reason I left the shop at 4 o’clock. Tended to Baby and housework, while Martha rested herself, she is now laying on the sofa, feels a good deal better and only complains over headache. I did some carpentering to day, took orders for two window seats, bought lumber and other necessarys and took an order for storing a box for a college girl. It all helps a little. Mailed a check of $5.00 to “Enterprise” Easthampton & tried to deliver Belding Bros. books, but got left, as the close the office at 12 o’clock noon, saturday. Bought stake for diner, and six bottles of beer, which must last, at least, one week. We had beef & nudles for diner & enjoyed it very much. Even Martha ate hearty, this was, when I remember right, her first good meal, since we are back here. I made her it more to night, where she did, so I expect her, to restore her old robust strengt soon. Expected a letter of Mama, but got dissapointed.
