Very good but twice told sermon from Mr. Meade. Read The Little Pilgrim and The Giant Killer or The Battle That All Must Fight. Books rather of the juvenile order but very interesting.

The last of the week, Sue and I go in to spend a few days with cousin Lou. I stay one night with Sister Betty. Have Betty Lewis to keep me company.

On Thursday Mr. Nelson gave us an extravagant address suitable for the occasion [and again on] Saturday ....
