It was clear at sunrise this morning

"Fairfield" to help Willie and expects
to stay there tonight. I went
to the store & P.O. before & after
noon, and to the toll house after
dark. Dora cleaned up and
"fixed up" my office nicely, and
it looks ever so much more
respectable. H & D also set up
the wood stove in the office
H having cleaned it up & burned
out the stove pipe & c: so that
it is in nice order for the coming
cold weather.
