I had my work done so I went down here at 1:15 and came up town to get some things and after supper carried all the canned fruit in the cellar. Thursday August 22nd 1912 I ironed and put up tomatoes today. I wrote to Laura in afternoon and did the mending and put the clothes away. The telephone is so we can use it now. Will busy about home. Friday August 23rd 1912 I got a batch of corn drying by ten oclock and had done some baking.
