Iowa Byington Reed diary, August 1, 1903-April 30, 1904

Page 71

Wednesday April 13th 1904
I felt better today. I worked in the forenoon
on a tatting pattern. I sewed some in the
afternoon. I am taking it as easy as possible.
Thursday April 14th 1904
I was busy all forenoon with the work. I made
yeast and baked little cakes. I coughed so in
the afternoon that I could not do any thing.
I went to bed early.
Friday April 15th 1904
I baked bread and got the dinner. I feel
some better. Will went in town and got some
stuff to make cough syrup that I made in the
afternoon. Mother went down town tonight.
Saturday April 16th 1904
It was a cold ugly day I did very little
extra house work. My cold is a little
better. I am making tatting and did a
little sewing. Will was down town in the
forenoon and in the afternoon they
were at work putting in oats.
I got the first turkey egg tonight.
