Page 29

Friday March 31st 1882. I did some cleaning in the back part of the house this morning and some baking. We had company in the afternoon some ladies in this side of the river with Hatt and Win. Mollie Stevens was up too. In the evening Rob and I attended the Shakespeare club. I was very tired when I got home. A letter from Will Reed. 
Saturday April 1st 1882. I soon got my work done up this morning and went over to Hatts. I stayed there till after dinner and went home with Mollie Stevens. I stayed there till nearly night. Then went over to Grandmas and stayed all night. Weather very warm. 
Sunday April 2nd 1882. I went down to Aunt Libs before dinner and came back about four oclock. Mother and Rob came after me. We did not come home till evening and Anna Anderson came with us. My eyes are hurting me very much. Today as warm as yesterday.
