October TUESDAY 25 1887

Both the men & myself have been working away at the cellar wall again this to day. Out progress is some what slow and the prospects are that this week will scarcely complete the job. The weather has been very cold and disagreeable to day, but we did not feel it at our work very much. Went down to William Wattses this evening, Ma and Ida haveing gone this afternoon. Had a very pleasant evening visit.
