125 Thursday November 16th 1876 I helped some with the work and sewed a little before noon. Mother came just as we had dinner ready. I sewed some in the afternoon and went over to have my dress fit I Iike it very much. I got home just at evening and knit all the evening. Friday November 17th 1876 I just got to sewing in earnest today. Hatt went to town this morning. After dinner Rob wanted me to go over to McCalls and spend the afternoon and he would come over to take tea and go with me to society. I had a very pleasant afternoon and evening I came home along with Mr Cattrell and Hatt. Saturday November 18th 1876. I sewed some today the machine did not work very well so I did not get very much done. I knit all the evening. The boys all went to society.
