A letter from Lydia says the folks will be home Friday night  Wednesday July 6 1910  I got the wash and ironing done up and went to town at 10.12.  I got some new sheets.  I wrote a couple of letters in the dry store.  I walked over home where I stayed to visit with Allie and the folks till 5.30  Dr Prentiss very sick went to hospital today.  Thursday July 7 1910  I did sweeping up stairs and put things to rights in the forenoon.  After dinner I helped Will put wire on the outside of the new yard fence to keep the chickens out.  After that I swept and dusted the lower story.  It was a very hot day.  I took time to write a short letter to Mary Briggs.  I had a letter from Harry  The [illegible] are [illegible] in our hay.
