to see Mrs Smith.  From there to Aunt [Eunices?].  Ida walked down town with me.  I came home at 4.30.  Will has too tired from having hauled sand all day to go down to Woolfs to call on their friends from [Delmar?].  Was busy all evening  A fine day.  Wednesday September 14 1910  I was busy with the work all forenoon as I did a lot of [illegible].  Will & I rode down to Woolfs to call on Mr & Mrs Marsh.  I stopped at home and he went on to town.  I spent the afternoon with Mother.  We came home in time to do evening work.  It is 20 years today since Grand Mother died.  Thursday September 15 1910  I did some more washing and ironing today baked bread and cake and went down home. at 4.12 Will digging potatoes and doing other work.  John & Hattie got home this morning.  So I heard all about their visit I was interested in that Winnie [illegible] at South Bed and at Nellies in Chicago.  I came home at 7.30.  Lizzie Duncan comes tonight from [Deloran?] with Mary Woolf.  26 years since Brother Rob died.
