Page 59

Thursday July 25 1907
I did churning and worked out a few things this forenoon.  I had a letter from Lorna she will be here next Tuesday night.  I did not feel like doing much of anything today.
Friday July 26 1907
I was busy most of the forenoon with the work.  I wrote to Lorna and Gertrude Smith after dinner.  I prepared things for the boys supper and went down to the Elder Daughters party at Mrs Swishers.  It was a very pleasant affair Hattie was there and we came down as I came home at 7.15.
Saturday July 27 1907
I was busy with the work all forenoon.  I went down home at 1.37.  The Lee's from Chicago with Mrs [Ryerson?] and daughters were there.  I spent a pleasant afternoon coming home at 5.20.  The boys did a lot at the hog.
Sunday July 28 1907
I prepared a nice dinner for Will and I and was down to Woolfs a little while after Will came from the pasture.  He took Lady and the mule up there.  I wrote to John Colter and Lizzie Lindley  Did [illegible] work and went to bed early.
