Iowa Byington Reed diary, January 1-October 21, 1874

Page 33

33rd invited came. I think I never enjoyed a party at home any more than I did this. At three oclock they were all gone home. All leaving with the assurance they had enjoyed themselves very much. Saturday March 21st 1874 It was late before any of us got up this morning But before dinner I had every thing in place. As soon as I had eaten my dinner I got ready to go down town with Owen. I made ever so many calls, seen a great many I knew, and when I came home rode over with Aunty and Uncle Walker. Went to bed early tonight. Sunday March 22nd 1874 Mother and Father went up to Aunty Walkers today. I helped do up the work and got most of the dinner. As soon as dinner was over I dressed myself and sat down to write to Charlie. Late in the afternoon took a walk up to Mrs Huebners. had a pleasant call. I talked with Owen all the evening.
