Charley drove to Laurel
& leaving the mare there went
to Washington to settle with
F Moore & Co.: he first went
to P JStabler's & settled with
him. I drove to Ashton and
to Riverside taking Willie
with me. I went in to the
Cemetery for the first time
in a long time. Our lot looks
very well but must have
another coat of manure &
lawn grass seed this fall.
Charley came home about
8.45 p.m. "tired & hungry"
Willie went to a temperance
meeting at Ashton after
supper.
