Page 105

105. pleasant visit. Miss Lewis was there. Charlie came up to supper And about eight oclock Bird and I went down past the store and Charlie went up to the house with us. We had a letter from home today  Wednesday September 20th 1876. I had intended to go up on the hill today but it rained so I stayed at home and sewed all day. I went down to the store and walked up to supper with Charlie. We spent the evening at home. Thursday September 21st 1876. I sewed all the forenoon. And in the afternoon Charlie, Bird, and I went to the fair We had a pleasant trip. When we got home Bird and I got ready and went up to Miss Lewises to take supper. Nonnie Brydolf was there Charlie came up in the evening. Bird went home with him. But Miss Brydolf and I stayed all night. We had quite a chat after Bird and Charlie went home Weather rather warm today.
