Ott went to Toledo on business today. Tuesday February 23rd 1886 We are still working on my waist. Hatt was over in the afternoon. I had a letter from Will today. weather a little pleasanter. Wednesday February 24th 1886 We had a long washing done this forenoon. It rained in the afternoon, so we put the clothers in the garret. Edith came home with May for a few days visit. I wrote to Will in the evening. Thursday February 26th 1886 I sewed on Mays dress till four oclock in the afternoon and mother and I went over to Thompsons for supper and to spend the evening.
