77th Sunday June 21st 1874 I got up pretty early this morning and helped do the work up, and changed my dress before dinner. Owen had company for dinner. After dinner I wrote some in my diary. Wrote a letter to Charlie and read some. About five oclock Owen's company went home and him and I took a walk down in the lot. When we came back, we got some-thing to eat and sat in the kitchen and talked a little while. Weather very warm. Monday June 22nd 1874. I finished my suit this morning while Mother and Winnie went to town. Laura Mahanna was here for dinner. In the afternoon I cut me a dark calico wrapper. I sewed till nearly dark and then rubbed out a few clothes and got them ready to boil in the morning. I was awful tired and nervous when I went to bed. It has been a warm day, was in town from five to six this evening.
