Page 57

Sunday June 20th 1880 
I went to Sunday school this morning and with John and his sister to the Trinity Church. I helped get the dinner over and in the afternoon we all went to the Presidents address. We all sat up on the house and sang in the evening and were joined by a party of young folks from town. A delightful time.
Monday June 21st 1880 
I helped do the work this forenoon, did some more baking. We all attended the class day exercises in the afternoon and they were splendid. Mother and Lib who came yesterday with Hatt and Blanche took dinner at Wins. I went to bed early. Weather very warm.
Tuesday June 22nd 1880 
The Law Class graduates. We were there in town. I stopped to order flowers to send to Mr. Berlin. The exercises were very good. I was at home all the afternoon. Mrs Tallant called here. After supper Mr Berlin was here an hour and Mr Gardner and Miss Lufkin.
