131. Wednesday December 6th 1876. I sewed all day on our dresses and knit in the evening. Hatt went to town to an entertainment. Weather pleasant Thursday December 7th 1876. I finished our skirts a little after noon Liz Mygatt spent the day here. I went over town in the afternoon and got stuff to fix my plaid dress. I knit all the evening Hatt went over to town and came home about nine oclock. Weather colder. Friday December 8th 1876. It was a horribly cold day and night I was right in our room sewing all the day and evening. Saturday December 9th 1876 I was at home sewing all the day and evening Weather cold. I had a letter from Lizzie. Sunday December 10th 1876. Weather milder I was right at home all day helping with the work I did not feel very well. Went to bed early.
