Ther. WED. MAY 10th, 1899. Wind
Clear & pleasant all day

rain. Edwd left here at about
10. o' clk this a.m. on bicycle for
Washington and was back at

the baby came before lunch

Cloudy, Rainy & Clear Variable
Ther. THURS. MAY 11th, 1899. Wind
It commenced raining again
between 4 & 5. o'clk this morning
and was threatening more or less
until towards evening when it
cleared off beautifully with the
wind from N.W. I have seldom
seen a more beautiful spring
sunset. Fanny drove over this
morning, but went back before
lunch. Edwd rode with her as
far as "Mt Airy" & walked back
calling at Sherwood on his
way home in time for lunch.
John Thomas (of Clifton) was
here to see me again about his
throat; in the afternoon Old
John was also here. I filed
the wood saw again, and
fixed up the "vase, or urn" for
growing flowers in the yard.
Went to the store & P.O. morning
& afternoon. After supper
Edwd walked over to John
Bentley's.
