Fine & clear weather. Papa came with me to the shop, so did Ernest. Papa however went home soon to lay down, he caught a cold some where and now got to suffer it, for, what I call his own neglect of his person. I came home from the shop at about half past 10 o’clock to give Martha a chance to have a stroll with Mama down town which she heartly enjoyed. I made diner ready, tended to Pa and did other work, while Ernst chipped a little wood. At about 7 o’clock I went with Ernst to the stable to get the team. We first went to the freight depot after my post board and got here at two o’clock, having the team loaded with newspaper and other articles. At 1/2 past two they left. Martha gave the boy a little fresh air & so everything went off nicely. Martha has got a fearfull headache but feels good in the average. I wrote a postal card to Dr. Webber.
