Page 23

Tuesday September 9th 1902
I was busy all forenoon putting things to rights.
I feel very tired. Will went down town in the
afternoon. I went home but finding no one there
spent the afternoon with Mollie Folsom.
Wednesday September 10th 1902
I did churning and was very busy all forenoon.
I took a nap after dinner and then went to town
alone for some things. I stopped at home a
few moments. Did evening work. To bed early.
Thursday September 11th 1902
Will went with me for strawberry plants in the
morning. And in the afternoon to town. I worked
in the garden with Walter in the afternoon.
Friday September 12th 1902
Will and I went down town for a stove and had
it put up before noon. He went after Joe in the
afternoon. I did sweeping in the afternoon
and Walter did the washing for me. Weather
very cold and disagreeable. Mollie went home.
