188. Tuesday May 15th 1877. I sewed all day. I made two shirts for Uncle Jim. Went to bed early. Weather rainy. Wednesday May 16th 1877. I was sewing all day I made Frank a pair of pants and a shirt and John a pair of pants. Weather warm and rainy. I read all the evening. Thursday May 17th 1877. I began Mollie a calico dress worked on it all day Aunt Lib and Aunt Emma were both here in the afternoon. I was tired and went to bed early. Weather sultry Friday May 18th 1877. Weather very warm. I finished Mollies dress by noon. Soon after dinner I came to town with Uncle Jim and Libbie. We saw Uncle Jacob at Jims he had come for a few days visit. When I got home found Aunty Holmes here, she had come on the morning train. Father took her and Mother over to Aunt Smiths. We girls went to town with Cattrell and Baily for ice cream
