Page 95

Thursday November 3 1910  I was very busy all morning.  I did some cake baking.  I had dinner early as Will went to look at some completed [charts?].  Mary Woolf came out just before dinner.  She went home at 4.10  I sewed on dress in afternoon and fancy work in evening  Friday November 4, 1910  I did some working in the forenoon.  Will went to town at 11.10 to hear Roosevelt speak from a dar due a little after noon.  It began to rain some about two oclock.  I brought the clothes in to finish drying.  Will came home early.  A cheerless evening with snow  The folks all well down home.  Hattie has [sewing?] girls  Saturday November 5 1910  I did ironing and [illegible] in forenoon.  Will went to town at 1.10.  I put in all the afternoon at sewing.  Mostly mending.  In the evening I covered a [bell?] that George Falks Mother gave me (the day we moved out of the Whetstone house) with silk from a waist of mine for a door stop.  I read the papers before going to bed  A cablegram from Chicago says Nellie has a girl baby.
