This has been a very cloudy day, but warm. Melia iorned this forenoon, and I made some pumpkin pies, and in the afternoon we tore off the old paper in the front room and got ready for papering and put on 4 sheets of paper.
Pa went to a raising this afternoon to Jim Hotens. He raised a new barn.
Rob is at work for Mr. Briggs to day, and Will is at John Mendham’s.

This has been a pleasant day, but not quite as warm as yesterday. Melia and I have been papering to day, very steady. We got all the upper part done and some on the bottom—better than we expected.
We expect Maria home to night or in the morning to stay a few days.
Rob is at work at Mr. Briggs. Pa has been doing some plastering in the village to day for Houchen and for Dick Sorden.
