Jan. 30-Feb.6

Bob spends Sunday with us. Sue Stanford sick in bed with a headache. Brother Jim dines with us. His family are in town but owing to the state of the roads they cannot get over. Sue reads Gents and Imelda aloud for the benefit of the household. I enjoy a second hearing of them very much. Make Lydia her first short dress. Miss Vallant improving both in health and spirits. Thy will be done. Feb 6. Go to church in the wagon. See the Xmas decorations for the first time. They are so pretty. Sue Stanford leaves us today to make Cousin Fanny Sheppard a visit. She will be back again soon ....Find Jimmy at home on our return from church. He brings me a letter from my friend, Emily. How happy it makes me.
