We visited in the Eve after Charlie came from the store. Friday September 15th 1876. I did not do much of any thing this forenoon and in the afternoon Bird and I went on South Hill and did not get home till supper time In the evening Charlie and I went on North Hill with Bird. Went to bed soon after I came home I was tired tonight. Saturday September 16th 1876. I went on North hill this morning to see Miss Lewis I did not get home till noon It was late when we ate dinner as we waited for Charlie. I went down and helped bake cake in the afternoon. And changed my dress before supper. This has been a pleasant day.
