Friday March 24th 1893
It had turned colder and was snowing a
little this morning. I was busy all morning
getting a load ready to send over. I went over
after dinner and partly put down the carpet
in the front room. Hattie was at work over
home. It was supper time when I went over and
I met her coming this way. Father's birthday.
Saturday March 25th 1893
Will took over another load this morning and I
walked over. Hattie came across the river as soon
as we got the waggon loaded again. I put down
the carpet in Josie's room and finished the
one I began yesterday before dinner. In the
afternoon they brought over a load om my things
and took back two of Hatties. I got Mr Hatfields
room so he could go into it and it was seven
oclock before I got supper. Josie came over here
about six oclock and Mary went over there.
Fanny was nearly sick tonight and we were
all utterly tired out.
Sunday March 26th 1893
I picked up things a little this forenoon and
got the dinner. We all went over home in
the afternoon. Ott & Fanny stayed till after supper.
