Jan. 3-9
A sermon from Mr. Butler....Miss Vallant leaves us on Monday. I go as far as town with her. Have a peep at
brother Jim and Lizzie. Call to see sister Betty who is poorly. Our maid, Kitty, goes out of office this week and
Aunt Eliza takes her place. Don't we have scrubbing and brushing but a new broom sweeps clean. Read the lst
vol of Henry Mitour, commence Gibbons' Rome, Read Longfellow's Evangeline, a beautiful example of
patience. Sue and I call at the University to see Kate Whitehead and Lizzie Barton. Take dinner with Lotty
Sinclair and bring Lizzie Dee home with us. A letter from Tom Davis.
