Page 43

Monday June 12th 1893
It was an intensely hot day. I went up town
in the morning and Josie and I worked all
day at putting in the screens. Will was doing
some work for Will Foster with his team.
Hattie was over in the afternoon. We did not
have supper very early. I went up town after that.
Tuesday June 13th 1893
We got up early to wash and was all done
by nine oclock. I did a little sewing in the
afternoon. Hattie came at six oclock to go to
the Alumni banquet with the folks. Will and
II had supper alone. We went over to the Lovlace
place in the evening to a party given by Miss
and Mrs Dr Manly Moon. We had a pleasant
time. There was a hard shower about noon.
Wednesday June 14th 1893
I got up early to help Josie and we had
the ironing done before breakfast. I went up
to law commencement a little while and
after helping Josie with the dinner Fanny
and I went over the river to help Hattie
with her sewing. I got a nice lot of
strawberries for supper. I was very tired
and went to bed early.
