WITH FIRE AND SWORD: An Historical Novel of Poland and Russia by Henryk  Sienkiewicz - 1898

Sunny, fine and hot in midday. Quite cool last night and I slept good by wearing pajamas, sox, and Pa's bath robe.

Trains running now and we got a letter from Ethel today. Pa and I were putting up posts for a new chicken yard all A.M. and most of P.M.In the eve I walked down to the library read papers and got "With Fire And Sword" by Sienkiewicz, author of "Quo Vadis"

A glimpse of Orange in 1921

Fine and warm.

Pa and I worked a little more on the chicken yard and at 10 A.M. I took the auto, as we arranged when at Root's last Thursday and took Mr. and Mrs. Benedict and Mr.  and Mrs. Root for a fine ride to Santa Ana, Orange, Huesos Park etc. returning about one o'clock. They enjoyed it very much and Mr. B told me when I ever went Minneapolis to visit him and he would let me take his Maxwell. Then Pa and I finished the yard. Benedicts drove up in the afternoon and we gave them some oranges and invited them to go to L.A. with us to-morrow, when we go to Ethel's, as they were going up to-morrow. late in afternoon we drove down and got some groceries. In eve we all went down to the library and read.
