Mr Bevington called in the afternoon I read a little in the evening. Monday November 9th 1885 It was a splendid morning and Mother washed out all the sheets. I did a little cleaning in the hall in the afternoon. we washed all the windows in the front part of the house and ironed the things washed in the morning.
