June 25-July 1
Dull times and warm weather. The Confederate Colonel Lady to dine with us this week. We are all of the
opinion that he was nothing more or less than a Yankee. Make a visit to Rugby this week. Mr. Brown came for
me in the little carriage on Wednesday and I have such a pleasant visit. They were all so glad to see me. Lydia
comes up so we have quite a meeting. She has heard from home and her father has sent funds to carry her back
so she is only waiting now for an escort. The dear child seems so happy at the prospect of soon being with her
loved ones at home. Make some visits with sister Betty. Find Mr. Coffman, Mr. Shay and Dr. Moses numbered
among the Rugby household. Am as much pleased with the last named gentleman as the rest of the family.
Wonder how it will all end? [Dr. Moses will marry Louisa's niece, Betty Brown.]
