181 Tuesday April 24th 1877. I went to town with Charlie this morning and did some errands for Mother. As soon as we got home She and Charlie went to the valley to spend the day They did not get home till bed time I put in most of the day doing the work. Went to bed early. Wednesday April 25th 1877. I did the washing this forenoon and in the afternoon put new cuffs on some shirts for Charlie. In the evening we went over to Wins. All of us spent an hour at Mrs Templins hearing her play. It was ten oclock when we got home. Charlies birthday. Thursday April 26th 1877. I ironed this forenoon and right away after dinner Charlie and I called at Billingsleys at Dennisons. As soon as we got home Mother and Charlie went to town. I did some house-work and began getting the supper. Charlie started home tonight. Rob and I attended the Odd Fellows ball, were disappointed in it. Pete got back from Chicago
