Fair & cold. Did but little progress on my work but took in 8.75 from Belchertown & 3.75 from Dr. Hickey. Put $6.00 in the bank, paid back Martha and bought groceries & beer for $1.92. Had Marthas shoes soult to day. Cost 50 cts. Baby was feeling fine. Martha and me are feeling sick in the stomach, don’t know, what is the matter. Came home early to give M. a chance to go down town to buy little things, but she didn’t go. Prefers to go sometime during day. Played two games of domino to night, won one game each. Got more work promissed coming in. Expected a letter from home, but did not get any. Must write to morrow. Things look well now, so I think we can have a little x mass after all.
