Etta Gilbert helped me was dishes this morning Kate washed them at dinner and Henry helped me tonight I had the longest nest this evening that I have had this year Kate churned I worked the butter and ???nted it The children went to school Harvey got in wood and Edna brought water.
Franklin wont work if he can help it


Notes

I could not make out two words, the verb after she worked the butter and the noun after longest. It could be "rest" but I could not find a leading r with which to compare it.

I now think that she "Printed" the butter meaning that after making it into some shape, she pressed a wooden mold onto the top surface.
