call - very pleasant, met Miss Lucy Haines.
Clara Houff called while we were out.
Cousin D. left us at Cousin Fannie's, where

a pleasant, jolly time. Maude played and

Wedn. 2nd Cloudy, very cold.

Brother C. and I feel quite proud of our

out of it for once. Charlie Farquhar's
sale of cows today. Brother C. went, and
said it turned out very well. Churned a-

ten seen. Felix follows me every where. and
he and Minkie miss the absent ones.
the "B.C.", too . ? Rags poorly.

Charles Town.

Nice letter from Cissy and Aunt Eliza. Miss

Mason's - the air is cold and invigorating.
Two little girls called to see Coz. D. She & Mother
went out to pay some calls, in their absence
Cousin Fannie and Maude, Mrs. Cook &
Harry called, also Miss Mary Shearer ear-
