Feb 22-28.
Go to my own church for the first time since Dec. 7th. Hear Mr. Meade...a beautiful sermon. How sad it made me feel to think we so soon must lose him. The warm weather seems to have set in for two flocks of wild geese pass on Sunday. Ash Wednesday the 25th Cousin Dabney Davis preached for us ....Call to see cousin Lou Leitch-a sad visit. How I missed Mat's ready smile and kind welcome. Cousin Lou seems gratified by our visit. Spring seems to have set in such earnestness some few bright crocus and violets have had their rashness to put forth their blossoms. I feel as if there will be a killing frost in store for them yet. Wrote to S P Williamson. Mary Lewis at home the last of the week. Ellen spends the night with us in the Lodge. Finish reading Walter Scott's Critical and Miscellaneous Essays in 3 vols. Pets met with a sad accident which I fear will be injurious to his beauty-had the tip of his tail wisked off-his back also much hurt. How unfortunate I am with my pets.
