We did the chores early I fixed Billys supper and Will and I went down home at 6.12 to supper. Hattie had Otts folks and the Swisher family there. It was 22 years ago today that Will and I were married. We hurried back to town to come home at 9.30 it looked so stormy. Ott heard from John Woolfs will. he left everything to [Harry Albrect?].
