Monday August 28th 1882. I did a large washing this forenoon besides cleaning the porches and kitchen up good. I was busy sewing all the afternoon and after getting the work done up after supper sat out on the porch to talk with the boys. Tuesday August 29th 1882. I got up early to do the ironing Mother went to town in the forenoon. Lee felt so much worse that Mother sent Dr Moore over to see him. I finished up the work while she was gone to town and soon as we had dinner over began to work on a bushel of peaches we were to put up Hatt and Mollie Stevens were over all the afternoon, and just before supper time Stella and Grace Stinson came. Otto came home on the eight oclock train from the west sick. We doctored him up and put him to bed. Weather very pleasant. I had a letter from Blanche Dunlap.
