Page 20

Tuesday February 24th 1880 Mother Lee and May went to the valley today. We girls got the dinner and in the afternoon Aunty Walker and Esther came and stayed till after dark. Mother did not get home till dark. Hatt went over town to stay all night. I had a card from Miss Honifer I answered it tonight and wrote a note to Mr Berlin. John was over awhile.
Wednesday February 25th 1880 I cleaned up the house this morning as Hatt did not get home till nearly noon and Win came with her. Lillie Brandon was here all day. I worked on my bunting dress in the afternoon and evening. I had a letter of unusual importance from Charlie.
Thursday February 26th 1880 I washed this forenoon and finished fixing my dress in the afternoon. Rob took we girls to the Vinnersolist concert in the evening. When we started home met John and all went back again to the festival a splendid night.
