Iowa Byington Reed diary, January 1, 1881-December 31, 1881

Page 38

Thursday April 21st 1881 
It was raining so I could not go 
over to Hatts and I made May a dress 
out of an old one of mine I found in 
the garret. 
Friday April 22nd 1881 
It was quite pleasant and I took an 
early start over to Hatts. I took Mays 
dresses along to work button holes. I got 
her a hat today and stuff for another 
dress. I spent the day very pleasantly.
Orrie came down to dinner. I stopped at 
Wins and Aunt Walkers on the way home. 
When I got here found Mrs Angier here. 
Saturday April 23rd 1881 
It was a splendid day. Mother went to 
town in the morning and brought Uncle 
Jacob home with her for dinner.  He went 
away today to Burlington. I was sewing 
for May all day and till late in the 
evening. Bridget and May went over 
to see Hattie in the afternoon.
Letters from Rob today.
