Iowa Byington Reed diary, January 1, 1882-December 31, 1882

Page 34

Friday April 14th 1882 I got my {work} done quite early this morning. Hatt came over on an errand and I went back with her to get some thing for dinner. I sewed a little in the afternoon. Mrs Angiers was here a while and took an old music book to sell for me. I played on the piano in the eve.
Saturday April 15th 1882. I got the house cleaned up and baking done in time to practice a couple of hours before dinner. I went over to Hatts in the afternoon and took May with me as I wanted to cut her an apron. We stayed still after supper. I read a little in the evening. Went to bed early. 
Sunday April 16th 1882. I was at home all day. Hatt and Win came over and brought baby. John came over to dinner. They all went home before night. I finished reading "Romola" tonight. Weather rather pleasant.
