Monday March 23rd 1885 I was at home all day, sewed some on the pillow cases and practiced a good deal weather cold and windy Tuesday March 24th 1885. We got the washing all done and house cleaned up by eleven oclock. I worked on the pillow cases and put in nearly three hours at the piano. A letter from Will & Vene Wednesday March 25th 1885 I was at home all day and put in three hours at the piano. I worked some on the pillow cases too. Thursday March 26th 1885 I practiced two hours today and went over to Hatts awhile in the afternoon. I came home before supper. Mother went to the ralley to stay all night. I wrote to Will in the evening. Friday March 27th 1885 I was at home all day I put in three hours at the piano and made one pair of pillow cases for Hatts. Ott went to the valley to stay all night. Mr Bevington and Benton went home for the vacation. Saturday March 28th 1885 We got the work done up early. Mother did not get home till nine oclock.
