Page 150

150 couple of hours. I got home just in time to help with the supper. Weather disagreeable at night so I did not go out to society But stayed at home and sewed. Went to bed early. Had a letter from Hatt. Saturday February 3rd 1877 It was late when we got up this morning and my work did not amount to any-thing all day. Hatt got home at noon. And Mother went down town in the afternoon. I mended clothes and put them away In the evening we girls went to society and Mr Cattrell and I went to the social. While Pottle and Hatt went down to Wins. Went to bed as soon as I came home. Weather mild and the roads muddy. Sunday February 4th 1877. It was a gloomy day. I helped with the work till after dinner, and as soon as I could get my dress changed after dinner I sat down to read. Winnie took supper here, went home as Mr Baily went to church. Pete here afternoon and Eve.
