Mother was over town in the afternoon Wednesday November 29th 1882 Mother and I were working about the house the whole day long. I swept the whole upper story and Robs room then in the afternoon we made mince pies, dressed turkey and got things ready for dinner tomorrow. After supper I washed out some things Lee wanted tomorrow. Weather rather cold.
