Feb. 3-9.

Too cold for church. Miss Betsy leaves on Monday. Sally Prices comes down to Uncle Bob's where we meet her and have some merry times. Sally has her Pride box with her. Spend a few days this week at Kinloch. Find cousin Mildred from home ....Hear the last member of Little Dorritt read. Get back to Music Hall on Friday. Saturday have a Dove Party at Music Hall consisting of the ladies from Castalia and Kinloch. In the evening we are invited over to Uncle Bob's to a supper in one of the school girl's rooms. Have a pleasant time looking on and seeing the children play games and enjoy themselves. Don't join in; feel I'm losing my interest for such amusements. I'm fast approaching the sear and yellow half. Would I was one of those mortals who never grow old in feelings but "Time who steals my years away, steals my pleasures too."
