44 Monday April 17th 1876. We washed and ironed both today and I cut out Mothers striped dress waist. I was very tired in the evening and intended writing a letter to Lizzie But had only just got it dated when The boys came down to play Whist. We played four lively games and stopped two apiece. Tuesday April 18th 1876. I finished up Mothers dress waist this forenoon and right after dinner cut out trimming for her new black over-skirt and took it with me down to Aunt Marys. I walked down there to stay all night. Wednesday April 19th 1876. I staid till after dinner then rode up town with Aunt Mary and Uncle Jim I did have a splendid visit I felt all used up when I got home I did not do much of any thing in the afternoon and evening. Winnie was over and She and Hattie went down to Robinsons a little while. I went to bed early.
