Page 85

85 Monday July 24th 1876. We washed this forenoon, And in the afternoon after I had done the scrubbing Mother and I went to town. I got the impression taken for my teeth and Mother went to see the Dr about her wrist that is very lame. Father brought the buggy home and we walked. I was to Wins for a cake receipt, that I had filled at the store. I had all the work I wanted for the evening to take care of the milk for Mothers wrist is so sore. Tuesday July 25th 1876. We girls were busy all day. Lou ironed I did the baking and Hatt cleaned up the house. I went to town about four oclock and had my teeth put in I went to the Pinney house and from there to the depot in the bus to meet Mr Webb. He came and as soon as we got home I began to get the supper I did the work in the cellar and went to bed I was very tired tonight.
