Today was a full day at school. I still do not do so well at mental math. I will have to practice. I really like the stories specially the ones that tell us how to behave. Mr. Reid says they are stories with a moral. I like them fine.
When I go home on this weekend, I will help Ma can plums . She says they will be ready for picking by Saturday and so will the crab apples. The boys will help pick them if they are not too busy. I need to find Nell’s receipt for how to put down the crabs.

My sister Bertha is going to the Central School in town. It is for older students. She does not stay with me and Uncle John, it is too far from her school. She boards with Mrs. O’Malley and says she likes it fine. She is taught by a Mr. Sherman. She says they can do as they like in class and he doesn’t say a word. I don’t know if I like that. Bertha does not come home every weekend. She tells me that she has too much to do with her studies. I hope all is well. Ma worries when Bertha does not come home.
It is getting colder now. Pa will have to use the sleigh to fetch me home when the snow comes.
