169th Monday May 5th 1873 I sewed today. We had an early supper and then I dressed myself to attend the Theater with Mr Huebner. It was a pleasant evening and the play was so good I enjoyed myself so very much. Tuesday May 6th 1873 Mother and I washed today. Did not get through very early. Mr Huebner went away today. Wednesday 7th 1873 I ironed today, in the afternoon I did not feel very well so I read and practiced, went to bed early. Thursday May 8th 1873 I helped do the work and read what spare time I had did not feel well. Friday May 9th 1873 Mother and I washed bed quilts today. We just got through in time to get supper.
