I had agreed to go to George Halsey's to a surprise party to night with Moses but I altered my mind and would not go whereupon Moses was very angry. I suppose he thinks he made me feel very bad but thank you, I don't care whether you are pleased or not, Mr Cornell.

 

Editor’s Note: *Mary’s sister Josephine married Daniel Halsey, possibly George’s brother.

It seems as if I was always doing wrong. To night Allie and I went down to Carrie's to meet Laura Beebee, Link and Newton. But Jo and Moses came after us to go riding and so we went off with them thereby making Carrie very angry, but we had a pleasant ride.
