122 Wednesday November 3rd 1875. As soon as I got my work done up this morning I went over to help Mrs Fletcher frost cake. I did not get home till Mother had dinner on the table. She went down town in the afternoon and I baked four cakes. Early in the evening Rob and I went over to see Anna married which affair took place at six oclock. We were there about two hours. Jim Folsom came home with me and we played seven up. Mother and Father spent the evening at Harts. Thursday November 4th 1875. I worked the whole forenoon cleaning up the house and cleaning lamps. Aunt Sarah was here for dinner. In the afternoon mother and I got a new oil cloth for the parlor. I wrote to Hattie in the evening. Friday November 5th 1875. I washed some this morning besides doing my ordinary morning work. I ironed right away after dinner and then got ready and walked over to town. Rob had taken the horse and buggy over and I rode home.
