Page 53

Sunday June 5th 1881 
I did not go to church this morning 
but was busy about the house. I rested 
in the afternoon and wrote a letter to Charlie. 
Monday June 6th 1881. 
It rained again last night and Father 
took us over in the waggon to town where 
we stopped a little while and had only 
time to get down to Hatts before it 
began to rain very hard again. The boys 
came over to supper but got wet the 
rain was terrible. We girls stayed all night. 
Tuesday June 7th 1881. 
Father came after we girls in the forenoon 
I did some baking after I went home 
and made a cover for the side table in 
the afternoon. 
Wednesday June 8th 1881. 
I was busy about the work all the 
forenoon and went over town with Mary after 
dinner she started home. I went down to 
Hatts and stayed till after supper.
