Cloudy & windy. Had work to day & received a pile of books from Forbes Library. Went to the meat market this morning and bought a fish. Martha came in the shop at about eleven o’clock to take the fish home. Came again in the afternoon and I went with her down street, mailing some business letters and one for mama. Received a postal from Mama & a letter from Mamie Connors. Finished a little job & did some cutting for the Herald and some shopping. Must have more stock, but haven’t money to buy it. Hope to get the goods trusted some wheres. The boy is feeling O.K., & so is Martha, who had an awfull head ache last night. Cold weather is coming on now, but we dont mind it much as we are good suplied with wood, coal & vegetables etc. Rent day is coming nearer, but no money is coming in, so I am afraid that I can not pay in time. Well, Warren has got to wait a few days, that is all. Have rent will be all right. Expect money from different sides soon, which will put me on my legs again.
