Sunday September 12th 1909
I went to church in the evening. It rained a little as I was coming home Fannie got back from Chicago where she had been for several days to see her Mother. I read and wrote in afternoon. To Lydia Mason & Mattie Fletcher I was over to Mrs Jones most of the evening.
Monday September 13th 1909
I worked all forenoon ripping two seams of the parlor carpet. I went to town early in afternoon, I selected some furniture. Was up in the office for a visit with Ott and went up to Nell [Swishers?] and did not get home till 5.30 Will did not feel well I brought medicine for him.
Tuesday September 14th 1909
I worked all day at sewing the parlor carpet and till ten oclock at night. Will ripped the rest of it for me. 
Wednesday September 15th 1909
I finished sewing the carpet before noon and we put it down before four oclock. I had supper early and went down town at 6.12. Went up to Nell [Swishers?] to call on a couple of Aunts visiting here. I then came down to the church and home with Mrs Robinson it was 15 years tonight since Brother Rob died.
