Treasurer. too bad too bad Sunday January 10th 1897 We were both busy about the work most of the forenoon as it was late when we got up and the roads were too rough to go to church. Our spare time was devoted to reading. Monday January 11th 1897 It was a fine day for work. I did a big washing with a little help from Will. In the afternoon I churned and cleaned up the kitchen. After getting supper over and folding the clothes ready to iron, I read in a book. Tuesday January 12th 1897 I got the ironing before I got dinner though it was a little late.
