Charley Gillespie went over the river for
Muriel and Raymond and her babies.
The little fat dimpled cherubs Hilda
and baby James 6 months old and
got two teeth. Sent for R to come over
to dinner. Sent Edith. R came
Muriel brought me a bottle of smelling
salts and an embroidered handkerchief
her own work. Well we had an enjoyable
visit and admired her babies. They are
two lovely kids only Hilda is so very pale and
bloodles[s] with here [sic] yellow curls and very
dark eyes. Well I dont often enumerate
or relate what we had for dinner but
They seemd to enjoy the "menu" boiled
potatoes, a platter heaped full of fried fish, good bread &
butter, cheese, cookies, date crackers, maple sugar,
custard, oranges, butter gravy etc etc
Rachel went home. Henry H came & ate supper. John
returned from fishing with 96 rock bass & ansilles and
a bull head.
