Tuesday March 6th 1894 We papered the south bed room in the forenoon and Will & Leonard cut down the big tree east of the house. Will and I went to town in the waggon in the afternoon the roads were very bad. We got the carpets and a few things left at the house and some more paper. Josie sewed on the dining room carpet while I was gone and in the evening we finished it.
