Fine weather but awfull cold in the morning. Baby did not feel so well to day but sleeps fine now. Martha feels cranky to night. Paid the House rent. Took in a few little jobs. Got home at 7 o’clock. M. was tired so we didn’t play, only read our paper. Wrote and mailed a letter to Mama. Expected to get a job from the county officials, but got left. I hope the weather keeps on so we wont have much trouble going home.
