Page 61

Friday June 24th 1881
I went over home with Hatt to help her 
with some work she had to do. Mother 
came over in the buggy and I rode home. 
I practiced a little in the afternoon 
and evening. I feel horrid tired all the time. 
Saturday June 25th 1881. 
I did up my share of the work this morning 
and worked on some edging for my skirt. 
There was a very hard rain early this morning. 
I went to town about the middle of the 
afternoon thinking I would go to Auntys but 
John said Hatt did not feel very well so 
I went down there and stayed till nearly 
night. I practiced a little in the evening. 
Sunday June 26th 1881 
I hurried and got through with my work was 
going to take May to Sunday school but it began 
to rain so I could not go. Hattie was over all day. 
In the afternoon Rob went over for Halsons 
folks. They were here for supper. I played on 
the piano in the evening.
