November 1, 1898

The day was as beautifull weather as anybody could wish for. Received a letter from Mama and a new corsetwear for Martha. I made a tobacco box for my own use, and began to make a cushion cover from small leather remnants. It will look fine when done. Had great company in the shop to day as my boy was there with his mama and Ida. Auntie & Richard stayed in the shop while I took a walk with Martha. All went home early and the Kid is sleeping well. A little airing does him awfully good and he should have more of it.
