Wednesday July 1st 1903 I finished ironing, worked butter, and got dinner. It was not quite so hot as yesterday. I worked all afternoon making jelly of currants and raspberries. I took a bath and went to bed early. The boys are plowing the corn again. Thursday July 2nd 1903 I went down town early. I stopped at Otts and got the deed for Will. I went on to town for some things. I got dinner after I came home and sewed in the afternoon. Friday July 3rd 1903 I baked bread and made raspberry jam in the forenoon. Mr Robinson called. Will went down town in the afternoon. I swept and cleaned the lower story in the afternoon. We had two nice showers today and a little rain last night. I cut out some sewing to do down home tomorrow.
