Thursday June 26th 1879 I ironed this morning and put up some raspberries that mother bought. I went over town just before noon and got some more yarn to fringe the mat, worked at it all the afternoon and evening. Rob, mother and Clara went to the valley and did not get home till nearly ten oclock. I had a letter from [Corney?] and Esther Thurber. I write to Charlie at eight. Friday June 27th 1879 I sewed most of the day and made mother a polinaise and finished fringing my mat in the evneing. Clara went to town tonight. Saturday June 28th 1879 I [cut?] and made a couple of night shirts for the boys before eleven oclock. I then washed out a few things while mother got dinner. Went over to Wins and Clara and Ella Rhodes came. We had a splendid visit. Rob was there for supper and Ott brought the [team?] over and we all went riding. We did not get home till nearly ten oclock. Weather much cooler. I paid ten dollars on my [chair?]
