February 4th, 6th, and 7th, 1869

Thursday, February 4/69

This has been a very cold day. I have been sewing. I got Clara’s skirt done all but the tucking, and that is to be done on a Machine, and then I done my mending, and this evening made a block.

Will has been down town all day. His face is swelling up again as bad as it was before.

This has been another very pleasant day. I have been doing a little of everything to day. Made some pies and done the sweeping. Melia moped and baked bread.

Will went up to Heath to see Crocker Williams, but he had gone to pine [?] run to live.

Emma Stevens was over this afternoon.

Neice Notes: Sorry about the awkward formatting. On the fifth I forgot that I hadn't updated the day before!

Friday, February 5th

This has been a nice winter day. The sleighs are dashing around, but it has thawed a considerable [deal] to day.

I have been cutting out piece work. I have got enough cut to finish my quilt, except the white.

Will has been drawing wood to day. He took one load down town this afternoon, but did not have very good success in selling it. He drawed a log from Old John’s for a roller.

Wednesday, February 3/69

This has been a very cold day. There [is] quite a lot of snow on the ground again, so they commence to run their sleighs some.

I made a needle book to day and cut of Clara’s white skirt and sewed up the seams and basted it ready to hem and cut out a pair of drawers for her.

February the 2, 1869

This has been a very stormy day. It has snowed all the afternoon. I have been doing a little of everything to day. I iorned some this forenoon, and then I cut of my skirt and got it done all I could until it is tucked.

Clara went down town this afternoon and got a new broom, a circle

Monday, February the 1, 1869

This has been a very pleasant day. Melia washed and I have been sewing. I made 6 blocks. I have got my quilt almost done.

Pa and Will have been drawing wood.

I have all the white pieced up that I have got until I commence my skirt, and I guess I will make it to morrow if I feel as well as I have to day.
