Sunday March 22 1908
I was busy all forenoon with the house-work.  Will went down to Woolfs.  I went down to Otts at 1.12.  Mother was there and we had a talk about selling my lot.  I priced it at $1,500.  I came over to Woolfs coming home at 4.39.  Will Woolf is very poorly indeed.  Weather fine.
Monday March 23 1908
Will went down to Woolfs.  Billy helped me do a lot of washing and it was all dry by noon.  I ironed in afternoon and in the evening mended the clothes and put them away.  Will Woolf is about the same.
