173 dusting cap while at Wins. In the evening the young folks came from home and we went to Mr Parvins rooms to spend the evening. And were well entertained. Tuesday April 3rd 1877. We girls both ironed till noon and I finished after dinner and did some baking. In the evening three couple of us went to the surprise party at Folsoms. There was no one there but ourselves. We had quite a pleasant time. The got a splendid supper for us. I am nearly sick with a cold. And was glad enough to get home and go to bed. Wednesday April 4th 1877. I went to town early this morning to make arrangements for having company the last of the week. It began raining and I went down to Wins for an umbrella. Pete came home with me and stayed till after dinner. I finished marking some handkerchiefs in the afternoon and began making me an apron. I went to bed early my cold is no better. Cousin Ella had her party again tonight.
