Nov. 11-17
Go to church and stay with sister Betty [Brown] until Wednesday. Am introduced to a cousin from Fredericksburg, Lou Young, who is visiting sister B. Rose Bankhead is also staying with her so I have a gay time. See quite a number of their beaux. Attend a meeting at the Baptist Church. It is not to my taste.
Lou and I have quite a scene one night. We hear a noise, as we imagine, and rush down to Sister B's room where we take up our lodgings for the night as Mr. B[rown] was away. Wednesday Mammy E and Sue come up to do the shopping for the wedding and to take me home. We each get a handsome silk and a white tarlatan [as yard goods] and when finished off will be quite good enough for Richmond. Two letters, one from Aunt Ria and the other from cousin Mildred. Wrote two-S P W [Sally Williamson] and Miss Bet Catlett. Tom is with us Saturday evening.
