Nov. 15-21
Johnny leaves us for home. Hear Mr. Slack [preach] . ...Find on my return from Richmond a letter from Jimmy postmarked 19th Oct. containing a piece of evergreen from Maggie. Quite a treasure. Also a letter from brother Garret announcing the birth of another daughter which he thinks of calling Mariola Garret. A long letter from S.P. Williamson this week. She gives me the news of Rose Bankhead's marriage to Mr. Winston last week. A letter from Jimmy after he got home. Miss Ghose is married to his brother John and Jimmy has concluded to "love her as a sister" as he could not as a wife. Tells us Thursday the 19th of this month is set as Tom's wedding day. Get things in order for work. Met has been introduced now to the spelling book and multiplication tables. Hope he may make great headway this winter. Very cold and blustering weather. It seems quite strange when we left home the last of Oct. all nature was clothed in its rich and varied dress and on our return the middle of Nov. to find all cheerless and barren and gray forlorn.
November's leaf is brown and sear."
Sue and I go out making visits. Call to see Sue and Jim Taylor; also cousin Lou Leitch. Find Miss Virginia Sampson with her. She gives us a very laughable account of an adventure she had with the gas. Miss Vallant comes on Friday. We enjoy her company very much. Seems in good spirits; gives us the latest news which was satisfactory ....
