June 1-7
On Monday a call from brother Jim and Miss Bet Catlett. The news has arrived that Billy Fish [William Hunter
Meriwether] and Kate Meriwether are actually married. No one need despair now [about being too old to get
married]. I don't envy her. My nose cold very bad .... Cousin Peter Johnson is...with us. We have nice talks
about the Oranges. On Saturday, cousin Peter, Sue, Miss V and I go down to Music Hall. Find Henry there. He
has left school; studying does not agree with him. After dinner Sister Mary and I go out visiting. See some
beaux.
