Page 69

69 Tuesday June 20th 1876. Lou and I went to the Law Class graduation today with Rob. After the exercises were out we girls went down town after my hat. I was terribly dissatisfied with it. When we got home dinner was ready, but Hatt and Bird had gone to Winnie's I worked on my sacque in the afternoon and Lou was kind enough to help me. I got it all done. After supper Rob took we girls all over to the ice cream parlor We came home alone, and in the evening Hersey and Pottle were in the parlor We had a jolly time and it was late when we went to bed. Wednesday June 21st 1876. Bird and Hattie went to the valley today and Lou and I spent the afternoon down to Robinsons After our suppers there we went to town to do some shopping. It was dark when we got home. The girls had come home and Ella Mc was with them. We girls were all tired and went to bed early.
