May 18-24

Thursday, Sue Moore and I go up to Cousin Marry's to attend a party at Mr. Goodloe's, which comes off on Friday, 23rd. Henry, our party escort. Fashionable late at the party. Have "a grand good time:" danced every set. Had pleasant partners, also some very personal ones. "The Scotts" (a group of free black musicians) were the musicians and discoursed some of their sweetest sounds. The supper was excellent and we did not leave the festive hall until three o'clock in the morning.
