Monday September 2 1907
It was cool this morning.  Billy went to help thresh.  I worked a few pieces.  did a small churning and got ready to go down home at 11.37.  I helped Hattie some about packing up her things after dinner.  They left here soon after two oclock.  I went to town about four oclock  I got some things needed.  Came home at 5.20.  Got the supper over and did ironing before bed-time.
Tuesday September 3 1907
Will came home this morning  he had spent part of the night over home.  I did some baking in forenoon and got our dinner.  Billy went to help thresh.  Will and I with Jennie [Damer?] spent the afternoon talking over his visit.  I did some writing in the evening.
Wednesday September 4 1907
I was at home all day and sewing what spare time I had fixing the sleeves to my light silk waist  Mr Woolf is sick and they have written to Mary to come home.
Thursday September 5 1907
I worked some in the forenoon and was busy in the afternoon ripping up a couple of dress skirts to fix.  I ironed and did house-work in evening.  We had a talk with Mary Woolf at [Franks?] in Delmar.  She will not come tonight.
