Sunday August 27th 1899 I was obliged to do a little extra work in the kitchen in the forenoon. I read in the afternoon and got Wills things together to take with him tomorrow. Monday August 28th 1899 I took Will up town early this morning and was over the river a little while. I got home at noon fixed Luther and I a little dinner and we did a big washing in the afternoon.
