Tues. May 4, 1897 Wea. warm

-
Having a heavy dress and it being a warm day, I felt rather uncomfortable but as soon as I got here at Mrs. A’s I changed my attire. Being only “women folks” here we two “old” cronies had to go out and saw wood but it was not very hard – rather do that than be bothered with those “pesky men” [Hilda added a few lines in shorthand.]
