Tuesday February 3rd 1874
It was nine oclock before we got up this morning. Mother went away in the forenoon. I got the dinner. In the afternoon I picked up things up stairs, and made some fire in the parlor. I did not feel well at all, and laid down on the sofa and did not get up till bed time. I had a note from Mr Huebner this morning. He is at home.
Wednesday February 4th 1874
I helped do part of the work this morning and then dressed and went to town did considerable running around. Took dinner with Sadie Pinney. Came home soon after dinner. In the afternoon I lined Hatties muff. Mr Huebner was here in the evening. 
Thursday February 5th 1874
We washed this forenoon. After dinner I went to town. Did not stay over very long. In the evening Hattie Winnie Owen and I played cards. Weather pleasant for winter and sleighing splendid.
