Thursday January 9 1908
I was doing some work about the house in morning.  Billy Coyle left for good this morning taking his things with him  Will hired other help yesterday.  We had early dinner and I went down town in afternoon.  Was up in Otts office & he was telling me about the division he had arranged in Fathers property.  I was over home awhile  Did evening work and read a book in the evening.
Friday January 10 1908
I went down home early this forenoon.  Was at the Dr office and did trading before I went over.  Had a nice day.  came home at 4.20 did the evening work and knit all the evening.  a regular October day.
Saturday January 11 1907
We were late getting up so the forenoon was very short as we had early dinner.  Billy Wentzel brought his things to go to work. Will and I went down town after dinner at 11.52.  I did some shoppint and was over the river awhile.  I did the evening work and began tatting for pillow cases in the evening.  We hear Mrs [Kover?] is very sick [indeed?]
