Another fine day. Last night was the heaviest frost, we had so far, there was ice on the water timples this morning. Last night was the worst night, we ever had we the baby, he had the colick terible the poor chap and we can hardly give him any help against it. I must get the doctor if it keeps on. I worked in the library to day and think to have 1/2 a day to morrow or more when I can stretch it. Martha visited me in the Library and went shopping, while Auntie and baby stayed at home. Received no mail and no money and I need some the worst way. Martha visited Mrs. Rocket and had a chat with Townes. He wants to get our custom back, but I dont know if I will or not. Cutter wants me to learn one of the… the lettering of books, but I don’t know if I will, it would take the butter of my bread, but if I refuse it may take the bread to. Martha & Auntie are both feeling rather sick. I am all right, not counting a little head ache. Frizzell stayed in the shop a little while this afternoon. I cut some paper for the herald and took in a small job, to make a scrap book for one of the college girls. Been playing domino to night and Auntie lost, as usual. Now we must go to bed and try to get a little rest, for I expect another restless night, with our little fellow.
