We are kindly entertained by both Mrs. Holladay and her son Waller. Aunt Sally, Maggie and little Lydia make us a visit of a day and night ....Aunt Sally and I have many things to talk of ....Aunt Sally leaves Maggie with Ellen for a few days; she picks her up at the barn on her way home on Thursday morning. David leaves on Tuesday for Lexington. He is a delicate looking boy for such a
school. He seems an intelligent boy; takes me through on History, Poetry and Novels ....[Letters written.] Sam with us Thursday night. He goes to Norfolk to get a look at the great wonder of the Navy "The Great Eastern."....[Visitors.]
