A very interesting discourse from Mr. Robert Nelson on the China Mission ....Mary Lewis and I call to see James L. Leitch and his bride. She is a young looking girl. Hope Cousin Isabella may like her: Take dinner with cousin Lou. Cousin Howel spends the night with us. We have some talk about Emily. A note from my niece Lizzie [Minor]. Friday evening I go over to spend the rest of the week with sister Betty and have a pleasant time. It has been so long since I had seen any of her family. Betty Lewis spends an evening with us. The children are all much grown. They give me a warm welcome. I hope much I may be able to exert a good influence on them as they all seem to feel such confidence in me.
