Page 86

86 Wednesday July 26th 1876 I did some ironing this morning.  Mother went to town this morning and before dinner went down to Robinsons to spend the day.  Lou and I spent the afternoon at Billingsleys. When we come home found Aunty Walker and Winnie here.  Hatt and Mr Webb took Winnie home. It was late before the boys got home and I was tired nearly to death when I got the work done up. Thursday July 27th 1876. I helped do up the work and then went to town with Aunty in the buggy.  I sent the buggy back by Father and went up to the dentists to have some work done to my teeth.  It was noon when I got home.  We had company in the afternoon  Mrs. Palmer and Sallie Hart was over. I worked a little on my pillow case in the afternoon   Hattie and Mr Webb spent the evening at Folsoms.  We girls went to bed before they came home
