Page 65

Wednesday July 27 1910  I got to work early on the peaches.  Mother came out about ten oclock to help me.  We had them all done some after dinner.  I fixed one of the kitchen rugs Mother stayed till after supper and Will took her home.  I was over to Mrs Jones all the evening.  Thursday July 28 1910  There was a rain storm last night with much thunder and lightning.  We were much disturbed so did not got up very early.  I baked a cake and went down to Mrs [Kosers?] to spend the day.  She had a very pleasant party.  Friday July 29 1910  I began this sewing to fix over my white dress.  I got some start before dinner.  Will went to town in afternoon.  I was busy with my sewing.  Weather quite plesant  Mother & Hattie were both sick last night as I was Sunday night.  A letter from Mary Briggs
