127 Thursday November 23rd 1876. I helped with the house-work and in the afternoon the boys moved the piano, that took some time to change things around I knit all my spare time. Friday November 24th 1876. I knit a good part of the day for some how we did not have so much house-work to do. Mother went to town in the afternoon We did not go to society at night. Saturday November 25th 1876. I just poked around and helped with the work for I did not feel at all well. I sat down to knit at night and felt so miserable I put away my work and went to bed. Sunday November 26th 1876. It snowed all day I staid right at home. I wrote to Will, to Jennie and to Charlie, more letter writing than I have done for a long time. I went to bed early.
