Page 41

Friday April 29th 1881 
Mary was here today we sewed till nearly 
seven oclock. I then went over town to

go to the theater with John and Hatt. At 

last we heard Joe Jefferson in Rip Van Winkle

I was well pleased with it. 

Rob got home tonight at six oclock. 
Saturday April 30th 1881 
Mary had company so she could not come

to work this morning. Hatt and Win were 

over all day and helped me sew. 
Sunday May 1st 1881

I helped do up the work and Rob and I 

went to church. Soon after dinner we went 
over to see Hatt and found her feeling 
badly. We stayed there till nearly eleven 
oclock She seemed to feel better then so 
we came on home. 
Monday May 2nd 1881 
Mother went over to Hatts as soon as she 
ate her breakfast. I got the dinner. Bridget 
washed and Win came over and we sewed.
