Monday April 12 1909 It was raining some this morning I was busy with the work all forenoon. Will went downtown at 12.12 and called on Seth and wife before they started west at 3.07. It snowed and was so unpleasant. I worked on my [mat?] all my spare time. Tuesday April 13 1909 It was bright and fine I got my work in good shape before the girls Anna Ethel & Ida Anderson came at 10.39. Elmer could not come Mr [Whitaker?] was not so well. Hattie came out for the afternoon. We had a good visit. I went down to the car with them and did evening work. Will picking up things and harrowing in grass-seed in the back lot. Wednesday April 14 1909 I did not feel well, had a spell of indigestion. I got the meals though I did not eat much myself and did some mending and fancy work. Will busy about house. Thursday April 15 1909 I felt better and sewed some in the forenoon. Will went to town after dinner. I washed out some things but it came on to rain so they did not dry I worked on my rug what spare time I had. Will sold "Selma" this evening to Dr [Boye? Barge?] for $135.00
