Friday June 23rd 1893
I went with Will this morning for a ride.
we were out to Hartsocks and on around past
Marys for butter. I got us some dinner and
I wrote letters to Vene, Lizzie Duncan, & May.
In the evening I wrote to Mattie Fletcher.
Mr  Mrs Rich called in the evening.
Saturday June 24th 1893
I rode over home with Will for some things I
wanted. I hurried through with some sweeping
and baking before noon. Aunt Linda came in
just as dinner was ready.
Sunday June 25th 1893
I was busy about the work all the forenoon. It
was very late when we got up. Ott and Fanny
went over home and we went after taking a ride
Fanny was sick all afternoon and did not get home
till time to go to bed. We came home before supper.
Monday June 26th 1893
We got up early so Will could go to work on
the road. I got breakfast for Ott and Fanny at
eight oclock. She was able to get up the girls started
to Chicago at ten oclock. I went over home to help
Josie get dinner. Father and Mother were invited
out to Emma Cherrys to dinner. I came home
about four oclock and washed some things. Ott went west at six oclock.
