October 31, 1898

Weather is cloudy, springled a little, but cleared up in the afternoon. Baby is feeling a little better to day. Martha is doing her washing, helped by Auntie. It is to bad, that I got to leave the house every morning without breakfast, going to work wth an empty stomach. I never did that before I got married, but must do it now. I can not do up breakfast myself having other work to attend, before I leave, and cant say nothing, to avoid fuss & trouble. Expected Martha in the shop after diner, but she did not come. Auntie was out for a little wolk and did some shopping. Phelps brought a book to bind but called for it later, to take it home unbound, so I got left with the job. Played domino at night. I wrote a letter to mama, paid my gasebill and sent money to Boston.
