Rob stopped and invited Dr Thacker and wife to the reception next Tuesday night I wrote to Charlie in the evening. Friday June 2nd 1876. Just as soon as I ate my breakfast I started to town I staid over all day I was working on Hatts sacque And Mrs Grey was showing me how, to make it.

Hatt washed today. Saturday June 3rd 1876. Mother and Aunt went to town this morning And Hatt and I did a large ironing. There was a houseful of company here for dinner. I went to town in the afternoon with Aunt Emma. I sewed some in the evening. The boys had company for supper. Weather cool.
