June 21-28
Jim comes home for his vacation. Dull times. Hear Mr. Meade [preach] ....An old acquaintance. [Louisa has heard the sermon before] On Monday had a terrible hail storm; much damage was done to the crops. The hail stones were as large as partridge's eggs. Read Rob Roy. Go to the University on the 26th to hear Mr. Broaddus speak. Also at night to attend the celebration of the Jefferson Society. Can't say I was much edified by the speaking as I could bear but very little. Terril on the carpet again ....Sue and I spend the rest of the week with Mat; have a nice time; pay some visits. Spend a day with Sister Betty. On Saturday, 28th, Tom takes his leave for home. Poor fellow, he seemed to be really sorry to say good bye and we were no less so to give him up. Shall miss him much particularly this winter. Well the best friends must part! Hope we may meet again.
