July 6-12
Sunday hear Mr. Meade....A visit from Mr. Pemberton and Dr. Thoming, from Goochland. Mr. P is looking out for a farm; we recommend Mr. Michie's as we would like to have Prissie for a neighbor. It is decided that Mary Lewis [Anderson] shall go from home to school. Sue and I go to Ridgway to call on the Misses Maurys and Harrison and Mrs. Gibbs. The ladies are very agreeable. Sally W and Betty Bankhead come up on Wednesday.
I go to met them at Shadwell ....Friday have the young ladies from Ridgway to dine with us ....Betty B and I have a race for a kiss; I get it. Having a pleasant time but all our gatherings are "dove parties" for "Not a beau pretends to show his head within our door." Saturday Daddy and Jim go to "the club," so we have the house all to ourselves. Make a little noise. A letter from Lizzie Dee and Aunt Ria. The latter says Miss Vallant has had her head shaved.
