A good day. We eat three
meals to day. Ben commenced
to strip tobacco this morning.
Henry went hunting & to
the store this morning.

Mrs Car did not eat any
breakfast this morning.

Josie is very bad off.

The children are at the
dining room trying to
play the fiddle & banjo.

I have bein very
busy to day no one to
help me except what
Edna does. She brought
all the water for tonight
and wiped the dishes
for me.

Well I have commenced
in my new book and
hope I may live to finis[h]
it.
