Monday May 22nd 1882. Jennie Miller came to sew for me today We got a pretty good start on the dress making. Winnie went over town before dinner. I sewed in the evening Tuesday May 23rd 1882. Jennie did not come today I was busy about the house-work most of the forenoon but got time to work button holes in my lawn dress. In the afternoon went to town and to Hatts after doing some trading where I met Win and we all went to Esthers to take supper. The boys were there and we had a very pleasant time. Wednesday May 24th 1882. Jennie came again today and we sewed all day and I worked in the evening. Thursday May 25th 1882. Jennie was here again today and we put in a big days work. I went to town after supper to get some things. Win started to Indiana tonight.
