Page 104

104 Thursday September 9th 1875. I worked on my quilt in the morning and Otto's shirts in the afternoon. Hatt came home this morning and Uncle came with her. Mrs Robinson and Lizzie spent the afternoon here and it rained terribly just at night. Friday September 10th 1875. The girls finished the washing and put it out this morning. Hatt and I got dinner and in the afternoon Mother and I went to town. Saturday September 11th 1875. Mother went to town this morning and we girls did an awful ironing. Hatt and I went to town in the afternoon to take a music lesson. Mother brought the buggy over and we rode home. Sunday September 12th 1875. A beautiful day. Rob had company for dinner and Uncle and Aunty were here. As soon as we had eaten our dinner Ott and I started to the valley for a drive. Did not find many of the folks at home but had a good time and got a buggy load of stuff. In the evening I wrote to my mystery. We are going to have a party soon.
