Page 44

Thursday July 13th 1899  It was a very warm day.  The boys were busy with their work.  I am doing a little sewing beside the house work.  Am not very well.  Friday July 14th 1899  It was too wet to work this morning and Will took the butter to town.  I am sewing when not busy with the house-work.  Do not feel much better.  Saturday July 15th 1899  The boys cutting oats I am doing a little sewing beside the house work.  I think I feel a little better.  Sunday July 16th 1899  A little cooler today.  I got my morning work done in time to read a little.  Charlie Williams was here for dinner and Frank Stevens  most of the afternoon.  I read some after dinner.  Monday July 17th 1899  Luther helped me wash before he went to work.  It was a fine day for it.  I was busy till three oclock with the regular work and then did some mending and other sewing.  Did evening chores.  Will came home from the field about sick.
