Thursday June 3rd 1875. 
I helped do the work and sewed a little in the forenoon. Cousin Anna spent the day in town. Aunt Lib was here for dinner and in the afternoon I took her over to town in the buggy I attended to some errands and made several calls. Came home alone. Worked on my tidy at night. 
Friday June 4th 1875. 
I helped do up the work and sewed a very little in the forenoon. right away after dinner I started to the valley in the buggy. I did not stop down there long. Winnie came back with me. It rained on us coming home. It was a gloomy night but I went to society with Rob. Anna went to town and stayed all night. 
Saturday June 5th 1875. 
I washed and ironed a little this forenoon. Besides helping do the work. Late in the afternoon Mother and I went to town in the buggy. We did some shopping. Hattie had supper made when I came home. I did up the work and in the evening worked on my tidy. Two years ago tonight we had a party. And a year ago Win and I went to society with Rob. I got a sheet of music today. [Rell Mahone?].
