We didnt have much trouble last night and slept pretty well. The day is cloudy and stormy. The boy was uneasy in the morning, but was as fine as silk p.m. I got a job to day for the election, worked in the library and bought Cocoa and Beer for Martha and other things. Our boy had qwite company as the nighbors kids have been here. He also received a present, as Mrs. Warnack gave him 25 cts. In Youngs house is the scarlet fever, so we have to be awfull careful, not to come in contact with them.
