June Sunday 3rd More warm weather. Perspiring freely. Yesterday insisted wash woman and payed her $1. She brought the clothes on Tuesday last. She not only washed them but mended and attended to them. She is a good old soul apparently. But then I thought well of that other woman! Up about 9. Breakfast at Harris's. Paid her $3.50 yesterday. To court. Attended to my own and Brewer's copy. Nothing much. Beer. To Harold's office. No Sandy Spencer. Then to Bath. Finally a Mr. Rufus and Sam Solomon visited us. Mrs. Williams called also Marie. I did not see the former. Rained in the afternoon and evening. Parties looking at the houses. Mary and Papa out in the evening. Spent some time talking to Ellen and Willie. Papa and myself did not have anything to say to each other. Mary and I had a conversation about everything. We went to bed quite late. Monday 4th Left Bath by 1:47 dummy. Looking and feeling dirty. Picked up some items for the paper. When I left Bath I had money. I thought it would do me the rest of the week but I became extravagant and by night I had nothing left, or very little. To the Herald and stayed there. Wrote to JUL and to Aunt Sue. Left office late and brought up at Harris' after 12. I paid $4.00, a debt I long wished to get rid of. He was quite good natured about it. Paid Mary Rob the $300 I owed her. It is such a relief to know you owe not. Tuesday 5th Came down to breakfast after 9. I went to Papa's office. He was not there. I stayed there some time. Rain and cool weather. First we had mighty warm weather then it was cool and chilly; then warm again and now its cool and chilly once more. Carried an umbrella. Six court articles.
