Page 16

Monday March 6th 1893
I was busy about the work most of the forenoon
and began work on my old green dress after
dinner. In the evening I started to put sleeves
in my old wrapper.
Tuesday March 7th 1893
I sewed a little in the forenoon and done some
work in the afternoon. Hattie & Alice Haines were
here and Mrs Sorter called. I fixed my light
dress sleeves in the evening.
Wednesday March 8th 1893
It rained all day long. I depended on Josie to
do the work and I worked all day and evening
on my green dress.
Thursday March 9th 1893
We washed this morning and in the afternoon
Will and I went to town. I was down to the
house awhile. Lee is getting along all right.
I made me a flannel shirt in the evening.
Friday March 10th 1893
It was a pleasant day. Father & Mother were
over. I was busy with the work all forenoon
and sewed all afternoon and evening on my
dress. Will is putting out sale bills today.
