=== TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1870. === Our girl Fanny Banister has been sick to day, with the same fever that ma is just recovering from. Mother is not able to do anything yet, so I have been house-maid, cook, and dish-washer. I find that when one does house work he cannot do any thing else. I sent Charley out to night after my Sister. If she comes I will be in a measure relieved. We are moving along slowly with our seeding. Hope to get it done in about three days. === WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1870. === Charley has been drawing manure on the ten acre field to day and Will has been harrowing most of the day. Mr. & Mrs. Beaupre{?} took dinner with us to day. We had quite a pleasant visit with them. I have been able to work a little to day out of doors. It is a very great convenience to have a kind sister so near by, especially when in such a fix as at present. I am again in possession of great peace & my soul is happy in Jesus.
