September 9, 1898

Fine, cool weather. Did not receive any papers. Took in more work & must finish some to morrow. Hired Rob. Warnacks team to drive home Ludlow to morrow. I go back monday morning and leave Martha with her parents to await her confinement. Mrs Brown visited Martha this afternoon. Mrs Flagg sent her some cucumbers. I bought 1/2 doz. Lager and meat for to morrow diner. The days are fine now, and we will have a pleasant drive. I forgot this weeks report to the german paper, but will do better next week. Expect to get the library work out by Thursday next week. Bought bolts and nuts for one of my paper carts. I hope, Heffernan makes a success out of the stand so there will be no trouble, to get my pay.
