Had a pleasant visit did not get home till nearly dark. Mother got Hatt and I a new calico wrapper apiece. I cut Mothers new dress tonight and sewed till pretty late. Friday December 26th 1873.

Saturday December 27th 1873. I sewed till noon and finished Mothers new dress. Mother had dinner ready at twelve and as soon as we had eaten, Hatt and I began to clean the boys room, it took us all the afternoon it looked awful nice when we got it done. Rob and Hatt went to Lyceum tonight, and I cut out Hatties new wrapper. Did not go to bed till late.
