A good day. Jim & Ben hauled feed all day. Josie finished her dress. I got a snack for dinner. I finished getting out peas and am glad. I went to Marvins a few minutes. Carrie was as busy as she could be. The teacher Gordon McConnel [?] is there to night. Carrie had made all preperations for him.

Henry & Edna & Franklin all went to school today. The first time that Franklin ever went to school. Miss Carter carried him & brought him home.

I want to see all of the children so bad. Doubt ever seeing them all a gain.

A rainy day. Not so but what any one could work until late. Ben plowed this morning. Jim cleaned up the land some. Mr Owen finished shucking his corn and put it in the corn house. What belonged to us.
