72 Sunday June 25th 1876. We all felt tired today none of us went to church I read a little and helped do the work. Rob and I took a short ride in the evening All hands went to bed early. As we expected to get up early for Rob and Bird to start away. Monday June 26th 1876 We washed a large washing before noon and in the afternoon cleaned the east room up stairs. The folks did not get started this morning for it stormed terribly in the night. They went tonight It was late when we went to bed and I was very tired. Tuesday June 27th 1876. I finished my dress today and did my share of the ironing besides helping pack our trunk. Lou and I went to town after supper to get a few notions. I had a letter from Al today and a postal card from Lizzie Lindley.
