May 12-18
At church and hear a sermon from Mr. S1ack...The service was read by Mr. Johnston from Alexandria. Dick's fourth birthday [who] had a letter, a treat for him, on Saturday with which he is highly delighted. How little it takes to make a child of his years happy. Mary Lewis comes home from church but goes back again Monday evening to help more about the work .... On Friday I to over to sister Betty's and make her a visit of several days ....We take some long nice walks; go visiting. My nose cold is very bad. Make a good many acquaintances among the students. They are some of them very pleasant but beaux have long since lost all their attractions for me. One very young boy, Fergus Farquham, I take quite a fancy to. I'm old enough to pet little boys now. He seems to have associated altogether with ladies judging from his characteristics and there is so much simplicity of character about him. He and I get to be good friends. I'm quite surprised to see the ease with which my nieces entertain beaux, especially Susie. They are much too young in my opinion
