191 a short horse-back ride late in the afternoon When we got back I got the supper. Just as we were through eating Hatt came.

Father took me to the valley this forenoon He stayed till after dinner at Stevens. I sewed till supper time on Libs dress And then I went up to Grand-mothers a little while. I had the head-ache all the afternoon. Tuesday May 29th 1877. I did a large days sewing but did not get Libs dress quite done. Wednesday May 30th 1877. I finished sewing for Aunt Ellen at noon. Uncle Jim brought me home after dinner. After supper I went to town and got stuff to fix Hat a dress. Uncle Jim gave me two pigs today.
