Sunday June 28th 1903
I took a ride down home this morning. I stopped
at Otts to see about working out a new deal to
the farm in Wills favor. I got our dinner when
I got back and read and wrote in the afternoon.
Monday June 29th 1903
I cut out a white waist for myself in the morning
besides doing the regular work. I went down home
in the afternoon to visit with Aunt Ellen, John,
his wife, and baby. I did the evening work. I sewed
on Hatties machine while there. weather warmer.
Tuesday June 30th 1903
I had Warren Smith to help me churn and
wash this morning. The boys went to haul hay.
I did some of the ironing in the afternoon and
finished up the house-work. I had not down in
the morning. There was a hot wind in the
afternoon though it was cloudy in the
morning. I sewed a little in the afternoon.
