Page 24

Saturday July 8th 1905
I was miserably sick all day but managed to do the
work and sewed a little in afternoon. Will did not go to
town. The weather was showery though no hard rain.
Willie did a big lot of work in the garden.
Sunday July 9th 1905
It was cool today. I put in the forenoon looking over
the desk and destroying what was not necessary to keep.
I read and wrote in afternoon. went to bed early.
Monday July 10th 1905
I did not feel well yet. The day was not fit for hurried
work. I got the meals and worked at tatting. The boys
cannot do much but cut weeds and work about the place.
Tuesday July 11th 1905
Very much such a day as yesterday and spent in very
much the same way. I still do not feel well.
Wednesday July 12th 1905
I feel better today. I did some extra work in the
forenoon and Will and I went to town after noon. I
went back over home to do some stitching.
Thursday July 13th 1905
Was busy with the work all forenoon. Spent the afternoon
with Mary Woolf. Hurried home out of storm.
Will is cutting hay. Our supper was late. I had a letter from Lizzie Lindley.
