I have come to the to the
conclusion that I will comence and let nothing prevent my writing once a week.
At least this year the first I wrote bears date Aug 8th 1856 most
(almost) thrice years ago. Many the changes since then. Monday night Allie and I
went up to the temperance meeting. Jo R- was there. He said Mose had come back
but I could hardly believe it. Decker came home with me. We walked down the road
as far (as) Aunt Debbie’s and came back home I was very glad. Mose had come back
for reason that I mentioned before. Wednesday the ---- Society met at our house.
There was a good many here both Afternoon and evening, Among others Mose and Jo
R-. The first time I had seen Mose to speak to him since
he came back although in the morning Allie called to me to come and see if it
was not Jo and him going by, so we stood in the window in rather dishabille [disheveled] looking with all there
our eyes when they happened to look
up and see us we made ourselves scarce very suddenly. Mose went to Port Byron. He
says Ellen? Clapp is dead and Late Quackenbush is married but he was very cross
and was as mad at me as could be for which he assigned as reason that I thought
more of Marshal Decker than anybody else in the world. But I can hardly believe
that is the reason, it is so very silly. Thursday night we went up to the Academy
to an oyster supper and danced till twelve, had a very nice time indeed. I expect
Mose will be worse than ever, we went with Decker. Friday went over to Josie’s to
an Oyster supper, had a pleasant time. In the evening called on Mr Chapin.
Saturday call at Mrs Worthingtons, had a great deal to say about the
dance at the Academy or as she styled it "the ball". She did not make much out
of us. Today we have been to church all day.
