Page 233

233 Sunday December 6th 1874 I was not at all well today, did not go to church. I wrote to Rob and to Charlie. Monday December 7th 1874 
Uncle took me to school this morning. I walked home in the evening. After supper I finished my polinaise. Weather pleasant. Tuesday December 8th 1874 I walked to and from school today. In the evening I did some sewing I am still feeling indisposed. Wednesday December 9th 1874 I walked to and from school today. In the evening I wrote a long letter to Owen Mr Moore from McLean Co is visiting here. a letter from Charlie and Mother. Thursday December 10th 1874 I walked both ways today. In the evening we girls went down to Esthers to a party I was too tired to enjoy anything. So I did not have as good a time as I did at home a week ago tonight. I wrote a letter to Mother today, and mailed it this evening. Friday December 11th 1874. I walked to school and back today. I felt too tired to do anything in the evening. As we were out last night we went to bed pretty early tonight.
