156. to Robinsons. As soon as we got back I helped get the supper and sewed in the evening while the boys had a big game of cards. Weather rather pleasant. Tuesday February 13th 1877. Weather pleasant. Mother and Lee went to the valley and stayed all night. Winnie was over this morning to invite us over to her house tomorrow evening. I got the work done so I could sew in the afternoon Hatt went with Mr Cattrell to the lecture in the evening. It was late before we got to bed. I had a letter from Al and wrote a note to Pete. Wednesday February 14th 1877 I was busy most of the day doing the work as I baked bread. Ella Robinson spent the afternoon here. Mother got home just before supper time. In the evening we went over to Winnies We had a real gay time, at card playing and dancing. Pete did not get down there. Weather perfectly splendid.
