Wednesday October 15th 1879 I sewed all the forenoon and after dinner Bird and I called at Fomeys and Lallouts and at the Parhams but did not find her at home. I fixed up my things in the evening ready to come home. Thursday October 16th 1879 I got started home at eight oclock this morning and got to the city at noon. I started to walk home and met Rob coming after me. I worked around the house most of the afternoon. Friday October 17th 1879 It rained last night and the weather much cooler. Rob and Hatt went to Riverside for flour. I made a ruffled pillow case in the afternoon and wrote most all the evening. Saturday October 18th 1879 I helped all day about the work. Hatt was gone to the valley all day. I sewed a little in the afternoon and evening. I do not feel very well today. Went to bed early. John Whitstone was here in the evening.
