41 for a collar pattern. Then to Mrs Beechers. And from there to Etts where I found Jennie Curt, Laura, and Esther assembled. We had the plan that Curt was to come back after the folks after he had taken we girls out home and we were to have a little time out home. We danced a couple of sets and spent a real pleasant evening. They went home about half past nine. It just happened that Will Reed called this evening. After I came home from town in the afternoon I trimmed me a hat to wear to school and hemmed my new veil. The weather extremely warm for the season. Wednesday March 31st 1875. It was raining this morning and Curt took me to school. But I walked home in the evening. After I came home I cut out the waist and skirt to my new calico dress and got the seams all sewed. It was rather late when I went to bed and I was terribly tired. I finished up a letter to Charlie today that I began to write yesterday. Well, Well! this is the last day of March it hasent seemed so very long if it was disagreeable
