148th I had a letter from Mr Huebner and was all the evening writing him a ten page letter Wednesday Feb 19th 1873 I went to school today and Father came after me in the evening. I did not find either Mother or Hattie at home I began to get the supper before they came. I sewed all the evening. Thursday Feb 20th 1873 I walked out to school this morning and it was storming terribly when school was out but I walked home. Mother had gone to town and did not get home till night. I had a long letter from Mr Huebner I sewed all the evening Friday Feb 21st 1873 Rob had a holiday today and so he taught for me. I sewed all day on my night dress. Winnie was over all the afternoon and stayed till after supper Joe Wright was here and stayed all night. I sewed in the evening and wrote to Mr Huebner The Children all went to society it turned awful cold after night.
