30 Sunday March 12th 1876. I helped do up the work in the morning and wrote a letter to Will Reed. After dinner I went over to Mollie's on an errand. I called to see Miss Murphy a little while. I wrote a letter to Maggie McKee before night. And went to church with Mr Fry in the evening. Winnie was over in the afternoon and went over with us at church time. Jim Folsom spent the evening here. Weather cold. A letter from Chas. Monday March 13th 1876 We done a big days work at the carpet rags. It was pleasanter today than yesterday. Mother went to town in the afternoon and Lizzie Lindley was here till after supper. I worked sewing rags in the evening. Tuesday March 14th 1876. As soon as we got the work done up this morning I went to town. After dinner I helped do up the work and washed out some calico things. In the evening we went to Folsoms and had a splendid time. I got a sheet of music I ordered for Hatt yesterday.
