Iowa Byington Reed diary, January 1, 1876-November 15, 1877

Page 170

170 store for medicine for Rob as he has a very severe cold. We were too late to the train and missed Mr Baily and sister and found them here when we got home. We had only been here a short time when Cattrell and Hatt came. They to had chased over to the depot and back. It was a beautiful moon-light night. Wednesday March 28th 1877 I went down town early this morning did some marketing and wasent gone more than hour. I sat up stairs and talked with Rob after I came home till nearly dinner time In the afternoon I cut out a couple of shirts for Lee and made one of them. Mother spent the afternoon in town. I helped do up the work in the eve as the girls with Cattrell and Baily spent the evening over to Billingsleys. Pete was over here and him and I played seven-up. Bob is quite sick tonight I think we will give up having company tomorrow night.
