March 29-April 4
Hear Mr. William M. Nelson preach on influence. His text was "Am I my brother's keeper?" See Henry for a
moment. He is much better, says his appetite is fine. Wrote to Miss V and Sally Williamson. Sue and I dine at
Mrs. Macons. Have a nice visit. Mrs. Macon's garden makes me quite envious it is so nice. Cousin Mildred's
advise to us is, if we can find one like her George to get married by all means. Sue and I get our Summer
bonnets; white ... with a great many flowers. Finish reading Prior's Goldsmith's Poems. Very cold weather for
the season-fear the fruit is all killed. A letter from Lizzie Dee. Sue, Jim and I am invited to a dancing party at
Mr. Early's. Declined it as we have have neither dresses or inclination to accept. It is given to Mr. Tom Michie
and his bride. Well we've lost another chance! Uncle Hatter thinks we did not pay him attention enough. I'm
glad we are to have a neighbor but that she is a northerner!
