Feb. 7-13

A rainy Sunday so no church. Ash Wednesday the l0th we attend church and have a very suitable address from Mr. Boyden. Dr. Douglas Meriwether and Miss Nannie Page were married on the 9th. They get home this week. I make a visit to cousin Sarah and Aunt Sally. Have a private chat with Sister Mary, Aunt Sally and Lyd and make matters all right .... [Letters received and written.] Lyd is in great excitement about getting home [to Missouri.] I hardly think it practicable.
