February 6th 1859


Henrietta Feb 6th 1859

Last Sunday night Allie and I went over to meeting. Joseph and Moses were there. Moses was setting on his dignity and so we did not speak. Joseph came home with Allie. Monday we stayed at home and practiced. Tuesday Allie went to the city. In the evening we went up to hear George Washington L. Clark lecture. All his audiance went to sleep or whispered. Our two friends kept driving round the yard and stopping at the steps. Wednesday night we went over to Josie’s to visit with Jo R- and Maggie. Thursday night we went over to singing school. Joseph and Moses were there. Moses gave me a very distant bow and I had to come home with Jo and Allie. Jo gave Allie and I an invitation to go to Helen Pike’s party the next night and to go down to their house the next day. Friday we went down to Richardson’s and spent the day. In the evening we went to Pike’s. Moses came alone. He danced awhile opposite me and then asked me to dance with him. He was as good as could be. Asked me if we could not be friends any more, so we made up as good friends as ever and even a little better than usual. Had a very pleasant party though there was some there I did not fancy. Saturday stayed at home. I was almost tired to death as I danced most every set and it was twenty minutes to four when we got home. We called at the doctors, found Mrs Johnson (Manda Harmon) and husband there. Called also at Mrs Gooding Then called on Mrs Halsey. Willie** came up to night to stay over Sunday with us. Sunday went to church all day and over to the Methodice in the evening. Nobody there I cared about seeing but as I am very sleepy like ---- I must very good night
**Either her cousin or nephew
