Page 16

Friday February 13th 1880 I was busy about the housework all the forenoon and worked on my chain stitching in the afternoon. Mother went over to town and stayed to Wins till after supper and she came home with her and we all went to society at night and the exercises were very good indeed.
Saturday February 14th 1880 I helped with the housework till two oclock. Mother was gone to town till nearly supper time. Win was over and I went home with her before supper and stayed till bed-time. Ira was here for dinner today,
Sunday February 15th 1880 Mother and Rob were gone to the valley all day. I got the dinner and in the afternoon went over town to see Miss H- about coming to sew and Win came home with me. It was dark when the folks got home. I wrote a letter to Lori Van Camp in the evening a very pleasant day.
