Wea. MON. JAN. 4, 1904 Ther.
Stayed and helped Alice in the A.M. In P.M. went up to farm and got a load of hay.
Editor's Note: Looking at the 1899 entry one would think Allen was a bit of a catch since three girls in one day sought his company. Mary, Myrtle and Marion certainly seemed to be setting their caps at him though he does not express any unusual regard in return. Pure conjecture on my part but he was extremely eligible.
