Sunday July 26 1908
Soon as we got through the morning work went down to Woolfs.  Will is very bad.  We did not stay long.  I went to church by car. Got our dinners when I came home and slept part of the afternoon.  Will and I sat on the porch and talked all the evening.  Very warm today.
Monday July 27 1908
I had churning to do in the morning and was busy about the work most of the forenoon.  I rested awhile after dinner and went down to Woolfs by car  Will is some what better.  I picked a few berries to bring home.  The boys working in the hay.
Tuesday July 28 1908
I got my work done up and wrote a letter to Lydia before I went down town at 9.12.  I got of the car at [Gil Pauls?] to see his Mother for the last time as she is to be buried this afternoon.  She died on Sunday.  I went on up town coming home at 10.30.  I rested in afternoon and sewed a little.  Billy went away tonight.
Wednesday July 29 1908
It was a frightful hot day.  The boys kept on with the hay.  I did the work and rested some in afternoon.  Will Woolf about the same.  Nellie went away tonight  She was out here in the morning.
