Monday June 17th 1878 Mother went to town this morning. I went out to Custors to tell her we would be out tomorrow night. I cut out the flag before dinner. In the afternoon Mr Owens and sisters went for a buggy ride. Mr C and Louise went to get pictures taken. Emma [Corisine?] and Mollie came this afternoon. Mother and Maggie did some washing in the afternoon. I got the flag done and we put if up before supper. In the evening we all went to the Library exercises. Tuesday June 18th 1878 All hands went to [law?] graduation this morning. The exercises were very interesting and we enjoyed them very much. The folks were scattered around in the afternoon. I was at home. In the evening Mr Owens and sisters with Mr Cattrell went to the ball. The rest of us went over to Custors. Robinsons girls were there and we had a splendid time. It was late when we got home. Win and Ella were over to go with us.
