Tuesday May 25th 1880 I ironed in the forenoon and worked a little more on the pants. I finished them in the afternoon and cut and made a pair of linin ones. in the evening I put the clothes away and got my old light dress down to fix it. Weather very warm. Wednesday May 26th 1880 I went to town first thing after breakfast and did not get home till nine oclock. I fixed my dress before noon and in the afternoon cut four shirts for Father and worked on them. Mother went to town. It rained at night, Thursday May 27th 1880 I worked on the shirts all the time I could possibly get. We had company Effie Stone and Ida Holson were here all day. Win was over a little while. Friday May 28th 1880 Mother was gone to the valley all day. I did the work got every thing ready to go to the Cedar river tomorrow and finished the shirts for Father.
