65 Cloudy Variable
Ther. FRI. MAY 8^th, 1885 Wea.

Slept well last night and
feel rested this morning, as
I only can rest in my own
bed and home after an
absence of a few days, to
make me appreciate them.
After beakfast I drove to
Ashton and to Mrs Cissell's
to see Ernest again & found
him down stairs playing on
his violin. Old Cyrus Bowers
died yesterday & it was I
trust a happy release from
suffering.
