Page 27

Saturday March 2 1910  I did not feel well.  I did some baking in the forenoon and went to town with Willa t 1.12.  I saw Dr Smith got some medicine and did a few errands so I came home at 2.30.  I rested till time to get supper and read in the evening.  Weather very warm  Sunday March 3 1910  I felt some better and did the work in the forenoon.  Soon after dinner Mary & [Jeunie?] came out for a carpet I had for [Jeunie?].  After they were gone I wrote some.  This is is Bro Robs birth-day 56 years  Monday April 4 1910  Will went to town on the 5.12 car to attend the yearly meeting of The Township [illegible].  He churned for me before he went.  I feel some better today and did what work I could.  I sent letters & picture to Aunt Lydia  Tuesday April 5 1910  It rained all day.  Will put in ice in the morning.  I did a little sewing.  I could not go to Mrs Rich party.  I had a card from Lizzie Lindley  She had received my picture but did not know just when she would start here.
