Sept. 27-Oct. 3
Hear Mr. Butier [preach] ....A letter from Miss Vallant, Betty Bankhead and Tom Davis. The latter has made another move and is now living in St. Joe [St. Joseph, MO] clerking for his Uncle William. Seems as much in love as ever with "somebody." Betty B[ankhead] tells me Rose is to be married very soon but does not give us the name of the happy man; presume it is Mr. Richard Winston. Ma spends this week in the lower neighborhood. Hope the change may benefit her health. Cousin Jimmy on the carpet again. He has come to say goodbye for he leaves for Missouri next week having decided or rather had it decided for him that he shall not remain at the University. I'm glad we have seen each other and hope we may meet again at some not very distant day and that his impressions of Virginia and his kin have been favorable ones. Make lots of pickles, both sweet and Mexican. Dress a doll for cousin Lou. Sue, Mammy E and I go visiting. Call to see Mrs. Barker and her daughter, but find them out. We then call to see Mrs. Massie and find her very agreeable. Wrote to Miss Vallant. Trim the fall bonnet.
