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

Page 102

102nd Sunday August 30th 1874 Did not get up very early so it was nearly noon before we got the work done up. After church Uncle and Jennie drove around here and we all went out home but Ett and Tom. In the evening after I came back I wrote to Mother to Charlie and a note to the Co. Supt. Then read some and went to bed. Monday August 31st 1874 I did a large washing this morning. After dinner I scrubbed and cleaned up things and got an early supper. So Tom and Ett could drive out home. I dressed and went over to Beechers to play croquet. From there up town. After I came home I read some. Tuesday September 1st 1874. I ironed nearly all day, besides doing the cooking and dish washing. I went up town after supper and Mrs Seely told me that Vene Mason came home today. Ett and Tom went to drive. A pleasant evening. I read some after I came home in the evening. Had a letter from home.
