Page 135

Thursday March 30 1911  Sewed some today.  I went to town at 3.15 did errands for an hour and went to the last of The Newton lectures on Robert Louis Stevenson.  I got home at 5.40.  Got supper and finished my pillow cases.  A letter from L.D.L.   Friday March 31 1911  Rob came out with his horses to hitch double this morning.  I had dinner so I left at 12.15.  I stopped at Mary awhile and walked over home and from there to Fannies.  I came home at 5.30.  Mothers toe is better.  Will cut a [illegible] down in the afternoon   Saturday April 1st 1911   It was a fine day.  Will helped me work and I took the clothes from the line  soon after twelve and had then ironed by three oclock.  I then did the mending.  Will to town at 12.15.  We had a letter from Sallie Reed.   Sunday April 2 1911   It was a stormy day with snow.  I did the work in the forenoon and wrote a long letter to Lydia in the afternoon.  I was reading in the evening.  Aunt Emma is over at Mothers, she is still suffering with that toe.
