It was a beautiful day.  I did up the morning work and went to church.  Got my dinner over and read a little.  Will went over to Art Jones on some business Mr. [Minger?] here of an errand.  I went to church down to Coralville in the evening.  I was very tired at bed-time.

I baked cake and did morning work and got in two hours in the garret.  After dinner I went at it again and by four oclock had in in good order.  Billy is grooming all the work horses.  I did my regular evening work  I was very tired.
