183 Monday April 30th 1877 Mother was sick with the sore throat and we did not wash today. In the afternoon we girls both went to town. I went down to Mrs Frackers and got another pillow case pattern. It was supper time when we got home and I was very tired. I sewed a little in the evening and went to bed early. Tuesday May 1st 1877. I worked on my pillow case all the forenoon. And spent the afternoon down to Lathrops I had a real pleasant visit and got a new apron pattern. It was nearly night when I got home. I wrote a little in the evening and went to bed early. Wednesday May 2nd 1877. I did not feel very well so Hattie did the washing. I helped with the work and cut out a couple of aprons.
