Page 115

115th a one from Lee. I wrote to Mother during the day. I read all the evening. Weather unpleasant, with a slight fall of rain. Thursday October 15th 1874 To school again today. I worked all my spare time on my scarf. Wrote to Charlie in the evening. Weather slightly rainy. Friday October 16th 1874. Taught again today. I dismissed school at half past three oclock. As soon as I came home I changed my changed my dress and walked down town. I spent part of the evening at the B__s and the rest at Etts where I stayed all night. Saturday October 17th 1874 The first thing this morning I finished Robs scarf. And went down to the express office with it. I got me a new waterproof cloak and had it cut. I took dinner with Ott and spent part of the afternoon with Mrs B__. I walked out home and then rode back again and changed my sachel for a smaller one. I knit in the evening. I was very tired.
