Page 7

Saturday July 19th, 1902
I was busy all morning with baking and other
Saturday work. We had early dinner and I went
as far as home with Will. He went to town. The
girls were all at home. I enjoyed my stay.
We read all evening. another shower tonight.
Sunday July 20th 1902
There is a change in the weather. It is much
cooler. I read some in the morning after the
work was done. Will went to the pasture and
brought Belle & Bess with their colts down home. 
I read and wrote in the afternoon. I hunted
every place in the house for Will's little bible
he brought from Ohio with him but did not find it.
Monday July 21st 1902
I had help with the churning and washing. I then
got up a good dinner. Did up all the work
with some sweeping and worked in the garden
nearly two hours. Did regular evening work. 
The men are working with the hay.
