Iowa Byington Reed diary, January 1, 1881-December 31, 1881

Page 103

Sunday October 9th 1881.

I helped a little about the work this 

morning and went up stairs to rest and 
read for I felt terribly stupid. Will 
came up there and we talked till noon. 
In the afternoon him and I went up 
to Shurts. Stopped at the old place to 
get Clara. We put in the afternoon, 
did not get home till supper was ready. 
Will took the horse down town and 
I put in part of the evening writing in this book. 
Monday October 10th 1881 
It was pleasant this morning but I 
really felt too lazy to get ready to go 
home though I did exert myself to do so.

Jim took my trunk to the depot and Vene 

and I walked down. My wait a Peoria 
was not very tedious and found Charlie 
at the depot when I got in Burlington 
at nearly nine oclock. We went up 
to Miss Lewis where I was expected. Charlie 
stopped a little while before going to his room.
