Dec. 6-12
At church and hear Mr. Meade....An old sermon....Hear often from Music Hall by Dave who is a very frequent visitor. He tells me Dick [Minor] has had measles and it was thought Annie was about ready for them. I hope some of them may come off scott free. What a lot of courting must have been and still is going on at Music Hall, Castalia and the Creek. Bob and Lizzie [Minor] until very lately, Dave and Lyd, Lizzie Dee and Mr. Cahill, and Julia [Lewis] and little Mr. Shay. An interesting place just now. My friends are anxious for me to spend Xmas with them but I am not in the spirit for gaiety so I'll stay at home quietly ....I have to be nurse and housekeeper too. Mary Lewis writes word the baby is improving fast with her black mammy (The Doctor prescribed a Black Mammy for the young Lady after she returned to Ashland). Poor little thing, no doubt she was half starved was what the matter with her while with us. Saturday Dave leaves us.
