243. Sunday October 14th 1877. Another gloomy Sunday. I helped do the work but got my dress changed before dinner. In the Afternoon we had young lady callers. I wrote to Miss Lewis, Cousin Jen, Mr Baily, and Mr Hersey. I did not feel very well today and went to bed early. Monday October 15th 1877. It looked like rain and I did not wash. I cut out our new delaine wrappers. Win spent the day over here and she and I went to town after supper and she came back and stayed all night. I finished up the cuffs tonight. Tuesday October 16th 1877. It rained all day. I sewed all day and the evening on our wrappers. I was terrible tired tonight. Wednesday October 17th 1877. Another drizzling day I sewed all day and finished up our wrappers just at supper time. Hatt was over town in the afternoon. I helped do up the work after supper and then cut a few carpet rags, and wrote some in my diary. I hope it will clear of tomorrow.
