Page 121

Wednesday December 5th 1883
I went to town early this forenoon and was 
around trading some with Hatt.  We got a 
proof of Ediths picture I had taken Monday 
afternoon and they are good.  John, Hatt and 
I took dinner at the church parlors.  I 
came on home early in the afternoon and 
went up to see how Mary was a little while.
Thursday December 6th 1883
It was a rainy day and I stayed right at 
home and sewed all the time I could spare 
from the house work.
Friday December 7th 1883
Weather more pleasant than yesterday. I 
washed in the forenoon and sewed all the afternoon 
and evening.  The dancing club met at Aunt Linda's. Ott got home again
Saturday December 8th 1883
Rather a pleasant day.  I was busy sewing all 
the time I could get from house-work.  
May was over to Hatts all day and Mother and 
Julia both went down town in the afternoon.
