109th Wednesday September 23rd 1874. I sewed all day. But went up town in the evening. Mrs Angel was working for Mrs P 

Thursday September 24th 1874 I was sewing all day. Mrs Angel was here again today. In the evening I wrote to Rob and went up to mail the letter. Friday September 25th 1874. It was a rainy day. I started twice to go up town but it was too rainy, sewed all day on muslin. After supper I went up to see Mr McClung about finishing my examination. Did not wait for the work but came back home. A gloomy evening. Saturday September 26th 1874. I sewed all day. Mr Beecher came home from Pekin tonight. After supper I went up town. Did some shopping for myself. I read in the evening after I came back. I had a letter from Charlie in which was enclosed on written to him by Rob. Weather pleasanter today.
