186. Wednesday May 9th 1877. I did part of the ironing this forenoon and soon after dinner went to see Mrs Dennison. I had only been there a short time when Mother sent for me to come home as Mrs McCall and Ann Palmer were here. They stayed till night. In the evening Rob and Hatt, with Baily and I went over to Parvins rooms had a very pleasant time. Hatt is twenty years old today. Thursday May 10th 1877 I was sewing nearly all day I made a pair of pillow cases that I finished chain stitching last week. After supper I went over to Folsoms a few moments and Pottle and Hatt went with me. Friday May 11th 1877. I washed this forenoon and soon after dinner went down to Robinsons where I spent a pleasant afternoon. I did not go to society at night. Went to bed early.
