Wednesday November 12th 1890 We did another washing this morning and I went to town with Will in the afternoon and took back my first half dozen hoods. I ordered some groceries and went down to Hatties awhile. We came home before it was late. Mother came home tonight. I worked on hoods in the evening. Thursday November 13th 1890 Mother went to town this morning and sent over some things I wanted. Hattie was here a few minutes. I was at home all day and finished 16 hoods to take back. Will sat in the house all day with his lame leg. Mother came home again tonight. Friday November 14th 1890 It was a pleasant morning. John & Hatt came over to spend the day. We had a good visit with them. Will and I went up in the office and had a long talk with Ott while Will waited for the Dr. Fanny was over in the afternoon but they all went home before I got back. Saturday November 15th1890 It was a gloomy cloudy day. I went to town with Mother and made a hood at Hatties and took back the yarn. I came home early. Mother stayed all night. Will went to town to see the Dr and spent the rest of the day at Marys. I was tired and went to bed early. Sunday November 16th 1890 Will passed a bad night. I was busy with the work all the forenoon as Anna went to church. Willie Bremmer got back last night and Lee came home. Mother stayed in town last night. I read a little and wrote to May. It set in to rain late in the afternoon. The folks are not going tonight so Mother came home. Will was in bed all day. Dr Moon was over to see him late in the afternoon. Monday November 17th 1890 It was gloomy and rainy most of the day but cleared of in the evening. The folks started just after midnight. Mother went over in the forenoon. Will was in bed all day. Mary Woolf was here late in the afternoon and Mrs [McEarent?]
