85th afternoon and did not get home till after the folks had eaten supper. I washed the dishes all alone, and it was so late when I got done I went right to bed. Saturday July 11th 1874. I sewed a little early this morning and after I finished what I was at work at I washed out a lot of calico things. We got an early dinner, and after dinner I ironed and the girls went to town. I baked three cakes and got ready to go to town by six oclock. I took supper with Sadie Pinney. I did some errands in town and rode home with Mother and Lee who were over in the buggy. Elsie Moreland staid all night with me. Sunday July 12th 1874. I worked all the forenoon doing house-work. After the dinner dishes were washed I changed my dress and began a letter to Owen. About the middle of the afternoon Will Beeson and wife, His Wifes sister and Mr Garretson came over they took supper with us. Elsie
