Monday, October 19, and Tuesday, October 20, 1868

Monday, October 19, 1868
This has been a pleasant day, but rather cold. Our folks commenced to day their potatoes, but some of them were froze.
We washed this forenoon, and this afternoon we put our soap grease in the kettle and commenced to make soap, but we have not got lye enough to finish it.
Clara went down town this afternoon and took 6 quarts of cranberries and sold them. She got 15¢.
Rob is at work for John Mendham.

This has been a very cloudy day. We iorned and set up a leach [?] this forenoon, and in the afternoon we sewed. I finished my Chemise.
The folks finished digging potatoes to day. Clara went out and picked them up for them. Rob is at work for John Mendham, husking corn.
Mr. Wells was here this morning to get the money for the hop stove, but he did not get it.
