Page 68

Saturday April 2nd 1904
The weather was so unpleasant Will walked to
town this morning. I did some sweeping and got
Levi and I early dinner. It had warmed up some
so I had him hitch Nellie up and I went down to
Woolfs to spend the afternoon. I got home early,
did evening work. finished some lace in the evening.
Sunday April 8th 1904
Bro Rob would have been fifty years old today
had he lived. It was a bright beautiful Easter
Sunday. I spent it as I always do Sunday with
my few house duties and reading and writing some.
I had [some?] cold so did not try to go away
from home. Mollie came back tonight.
Monday April 4th 1904
I was busy all forenoon with the work. Will
went down home for a calf he had bought
and brought two pigs Levi bought. I spend the
afternoon down home came back to do
the evening work. I did not feel very well.
The weather more moderate.
