Page 112

Friday November 4th 1881

I soon got my work done up this 

morning and practiced nearly two hours 
before dinner. Hatt was over here a 
few moments this morning. I went over

town in the afternoon and visited at Wins
till bed time. The friends went on 

down to the valley this morning. 
Saturday November 5th 1881 
We had our work all done before 
noon. Mother went over to Hatts before 
dinner. I practiced all the afternoon 
and knit all the evening. Weather pleasant. 
Sunday November 6th 1881

It was a splendid day. I went to church
in the morning. Flora Williams was 

here most of the day. John and Hatt went

to the valley and John ate supper here when 

he brought the horse back. Win was here 
in the afternoon. I wrote a letter to 
Charlie and one to Lizzie Lindley. 
Went to bed early.
