Iowa Byington Reed diary, January 1-October 21, 1874

Page 113

113th Wednesday October 7th 1874 Taught again today. After I came home I wrote Lee a letter. And as soon as we could get ready after supper we all went down to the depot. As Aunty did not come, we waited for the mail to be distributed. We met with Esther and Florence and had a great time I got me a dinner basket and when the mail was distributed I got a letter from Rob, one from Charlie and my certificate from The Co Superintendant. Thursday October 8th 1874. I went to school again today. In the evening we went to the depot and Aunty came. I put in what spare time I had during the day writing to Charlie. Friday October 9th 1874. Taught today. In the evening when Lorna came from school she brought me two letters one from Charlie and one from Mother. I worked on Robs scarf all the evening. Gloomy and prospect of rain.
