125th would be over in the afternoon, So I did not go down to Jim's with Mother, but came back home. We had only just got dinner over when Mr H_ came. Winnie was here and Hattie went home with her. I had supper almost ready when Mother got home she was almost froze. As soon as we had supper Mr H_ went away as he had to start at seven oclock. My gloves were too small so I sent them back and changed them, Friday November 29th 1872 Mother was at work on Robs coat and Hattie and I did the work, and what time I had to sew I put in on my sacque I am braiding it with white silk braid Saturday November 30th 1872 Hattie started to the valley early this morning I did up the work and Mother went to sewing on the coat At almost noon Aunty and Uncle Walker came they stayed till after dinner and then went to town. There were some boys in to play with Ott tonight I got my gloves a half size longer tonight. Winnie was over a few moments
