Page 13

Monday July 23rd 1894
This is my 43rd birth day. I went to town this
morning with apples but did not get a very early
start. I sold a bushel to Uncle George after I came
home. The boys are hauling hay though Will is
not well. I went to town with apples in the afternoon.
Mother and Robbie stopped here for supper. They had
been to the valley. I was very tired tonight.
Tuesday July 24th 1894.
Will did not feel well but went to town in the 
waggon in the morning. I was busy about the
house. It was very warm. I read and wrote in
the afternoon. The boys were picking up apples.
Wednesday July 25th 1894.
I went to town this morning and took in some
apples. I was over home a little while I had a
lot of things to see to. The baby is not very well
I did baking and cleaning up the house in the
afternoon. Ed & Ada McCallister were here.
Thursday July 26th 1894.
I went in town early expecting to meet Laura
Mason. She did not come. I hurried home to get
dinner for the men stacking oats. They got done
at noon. There was a hot wind in the afternoon
that was terrible. Will went in to the
evening train thinking to find Laura but
she did not come. Ott got home from Topeka
this morning. The baby is better so Will Bremmer
told me at the depot.
