December 6th 1858

Sunday Dec 6th 1858

Last Monday attended Mr Giletts lecture on astronomy, went with Jo- and Allie, Julia and Elliot Tattle, and Carrie called on us before the lecture. Wednesday night went to another of the course, came home very independantly alone because I would not come with Allie and J-. Tuesday evening went over to Mr Whites and played for them all the evening. Mr Harte? came home with us. Thursday evening Decker called on us and we went up to singing school. Mose and Jo came home with us. Friday night went to the lecture. Mose and Jo spent the evening after the lecture with us. Saturday evening there [was] another lecture by Enoch Williams but Allie and I concluded we did not want to go. Today it has rained all day most and as Ma was sick we all stayed at home. But I am so tired of haveing nothing to do that I shall go another time. Report say's Harvey is going to be married soon next week. I believe to look at my first writings in this book anyone might think that prehaps I would regret it, but it is not so. Of all of his friends I would be the first to wish it was so. A strange thing is the human heart. His is [a] very deceitful one. I have learned to know him well in the last year and it has not improved him very much in my opinion.
