Feb. 14-20
At church and hear Mr. Boyden read the Bishop's Letter. Find sister Betty at Music Hall on our return. Monday I spend with cousin Peggy Nelson. Am quite sick this week with a cold. Bad news from home. Peck has been caught in the Steel Trap and lost a leg. Make the acquaintance of a nice little soldier while down, Lieutenant Smith. He is Aunt Sally and cousin Sarah's pet. His health is very bad. Get home Saturday after quite a number of adventures. Among them was the non-arrival of the cars which obliged me to stall all night at Cobham which was much against my will as there was a large party going on in the house all night. However, I did not appear in the ball room. The next day coming up I mashed my hand badly with one of the car windows. Do not get home til near night .... Peck is getting much better but his leg is clean gone. I'm glad to be home again. Nanny is confined to her room with a frostbit foot. Great excitement everywhere about the new money arrangements. It will fall heavily on Mary Lewis as her pig money had all been paid in large notes. It was afterwards satisfactorily arranged.
