Sunday, September 20, and Monday, September 21, 1868

Sunday, September 20 1868
This has been a cold, wet day but I have been on the gad[1] all day! First, we went up to Mr. Canip [?], and then we went from there to Jaakeway’s [?] to see if Ella could go and pick hops to Mr. Chappel’s, and she says she can, so we are going. We went from there to Mr. Palmer’s and then down to Chappels’.

Monday, September 21, 1868
Well, one day in the hop yard and a gay time we have had! Ella and I came down last night. We picked 12 bushels to day. Rob tends our box. Hannah Grow [?] and Lavina Shepherd picks at our box, and so does Mrs. Palmer and Maria Hulit[2]. We are having gay times.



Neice Notes: [1] The modern equivalent to this is “on the go.”
