November 10, 1898

The day was the most disagreeable day for a long while, it rained pitchforks from early dawn till night. I had some work to day and will have more to morrow & saturday so that I possibly have to work over time. Now, that plenty work is in sight we are all feeling well. I must save money now as fast as possible so we will be able to buy a farm soon. Our boy is doing well and so is Martha and everything will be hunky dory when we get a place in the country, if there once, there wont be any more trouble and I can give my boy & wife a good home and the later a good education. I bought some tings today and Martha paid for milk.
