16 July – Wednesday
There was a terrible wind storm about five oclock and it looked very much like rain. H. came and spent the evening with us.
17 July – Thursday
This morning it was hot and sultry and a little cloudy and threatened rain all day. I went to Y.L.M.I.A. in the evening. We came home and sat on the porch with pa untill almost eleven oclock.
18 July – Friday
Have had a little rain today. Something out of the usual run has occurred today. Mrfs Walker wanted to go to the lake in the Eve and asked me stay for her. I refused which caused a few unpleasant words to pass between us and we have scarcely spoken all day. I stayed and let M. Barret go which still caused more feelings toward me.
19 July – Saturday
This was a hot sultry morning. After breakfast I went to the store. At noon I went to Dr. Dunford and had two teeth drawn which made my face ache the remainder of the day. I left the store about 9.30 feeling very tired and worn out.
20 July – Sunday
My face aches so bad I think I will not go out today. After breakfast and I had my bath and dinner over I lay down and slept. Harry came down. Had not felt well all day. I went to meeting with Emma. Bro. Gill and Bro. Mcmurren spoke.
21 July – Monday
Another morning has dawned upon us. Hot and sultry as many others have before. Making me feel very much the same.
22 July – Tuesday
Today I have had two more teeth drawn and feel rather shakey.
23 July – Wednesday
Harry came over about nine oclock. I met him on the bank. This I believe was the first time I ever went out to meet him. I feel unusually happy tonight.
24 July – Thursday
I arose about 6 oclock and felt good and very much like work. Which is almost as great a surprise as I have had lately. I worked around untill noon when I receved a note from H. stating he would be down and we took the 2:45 train for the beach. Did not return home untill almost midnight. Enjoyed it immensely.
25 July – Friday
I feel a little tired after my trip to the Lake. Have been very busy after I arived home. I wrote a letter to Uncle Alfred Pettit and then went to bed.
26 July – Saturday
Today has passed off as usual bringing forth no important items or events worth mentioning.
27 July – Sunday
This morning I arose and found ma had been very sick all night. I remained home all day and assisted with the work. At five minutes to one at noon another addition was made to the family [William Alfred Pettit, Rebecca Hood Hill Pettit's fourteenth and final child]. Ma is feeling pretty well. I did not retire untill very late. Harry has been here but a little while today.28 July – Monday
I went to the store but had been up so much during the night that I felt very tired. Ma was feeling very weak this morning but when I came home was feeling much better.
29 July – Tuesday
I am almost sick myself today. The worry over exertion and excitement besides being up so much last night. I have felt very much like coming home. I had to lay down when I came home I was so worn out.
30 July – Wednesday
Today has been very hot. I wrote a letter to Alice. I went up to the Equitable today noon and had a long talk with Bro. Emery and Langton. Harry came over in the evening. I made him feel bad. My temper will be the cause of much trouble for myself if I don’t control it. I have resolved to try and do better.
31 July – Thursday
This morning I walked to the store. The morning was much cooler. I also walked home with H. in the evening. We talked over our trip which we are contemplating up the canyon soon.
