177. Friday April 13th 1877. We girls did some washing this morning including six quilts. After dinner Miss Baily and I went over to spend the afternoon with Mrs McCall. Had a real pleasant visit and went up to Wins in time to go to the [Telygathian?] exhibition Which all seemed to enjoy. Beautiful day. Saturday April 14th 1877 I did house-work all the forenoon and the girls went over town right away after dinner About three oclock I went over and Hatt and I went to call on Mrs Watson. We found Pete there he came back to Wins with us and all hands went into the catholic church I came home and helped get the supper over but the girls took supper with Win. Baily and I went over there and all of us went to ladies society Pete was there to go with me. After society we went down to Wins a few moments and then came home I for one very tired.
