Lee took flowers to Robs grave. Monday April 5th 1886 I did a large washing this morning and was in town all the afternoon. I got my green dress and the skirt cut ready to bring home with me. I got my new wrapper too. Mother went to church at night. Tuesday April 6th 1886 I was busy sewing on my green dress all day. Mother was in town most of the day. Wrote to Ida in the evening. weather pleasant. Wednesday April 7th 1886 I helped iron in the forenoon. The children were over here for the day.
