Saturday July 18 1908 Will went to Woolfs early in the forenoon. I had Billy help me wash. The clothes were dry before noon and I had bread baked. I ironed in afternoon got the clothes all put away some jelly [parted?] up I had made this week a sack of sugar emptied in [illegible] price 5.90. It was bed time when I got through so took bath and went to bed. Weather cooler. Sunday July 19 1908 I got the work done early and we drove down to Woolfs Will is very sick indeed. I came home to get our dinners and wrote some in afternoon. George & [illegible] Stevens was here till five oclock. Will and I had lunch and I went down home and stayed till 8.30. Ida expects to go home tomorrow. Monday July 20 1908 I was busy with the work all forenoon and rested in afternoon and sewed a little. I do not feel well. Tuesday July 21st 1908 I felt wretched all forenoon I have not slept well for a couple of nights. I slept part of the afternoon and felt much better.
