Page 106

106 Friday September 22nd 1876. It was late when we got up this morning and Miss Brydolf went home soon after breakfast After she did her work Miss Lewis and I went to call on Frank Winters We found her at home We came back and got some plants ready that I wanted to bring with me. By the time I got back down to the house and my things packed it was nearly noon. I then went down and came up to dinner with Charlie. At two oclock him and Bird went down to the depot with me. I had a tedious ride to West Liberty and was to late for the western train. I stayed at Hands all night. I felt awful tired tonight. Saturday September 23rd 1876. I came on home this morning there was no one at the depot. I helped do the work all day. Just before supper time Hatt and I went down to Robinsons to see Lizzie and the children. We stopped at Wilcox and got grapes Spent the evening at home.
