Hot, as in July. Was quite foggy in the morning. Martha was sick yesterday, but feels O.K. to day. Richard went to the shop, without having work. If this things continued, we may have to go somewhere else. Martha went to the auction once more and received another small teaspoon as present. Richard came for her at 5 o’clock. Got home to gether and spent the evening reading etc. Richard wrote to Springfield, Ludlow and New York. Had tripe & sour Potatoes for dinner. There was no mail.
