Sunday 25th
Found on awakening that I had not fully recovered from the effects of the picnic. Went to church, Dr. Brisbane's son, one of the returned volunteers, preached this morning. Did not go this afternoon to church.
Monday 26th
Woke this morning with a strange feeling of loss, did not seem possible that I was not going to school, however I managed to get along very comfortably. I have a great deal to do this fall, and must improve every moment.
27--
Went up town this morning, sewed in the afternoon. Went to Lodge in the evening. Fannie was elected delegate to Grand Lodge.
28--
Nothing of importance occurred.
29th
Sewed all day.
30th
Went up town this morning, Mr. Craig offered to take me out to Mr. Tenney's this afternoon, as I wanted to go. We started that in, Fannie & I & Mr. Craig about 3 P.M. and they sat down among the trees near the railroad to wait for me. They promised to wait until seven o'clock before they launched. I was overtaken by Sinclair Botkin who came up through the woods, and he & I surveyed a new road through Mr. Casey's cornfield it was not altogether straight. He very kindly helped me over the interbeing[indecipherable] fences, and I arrived at Mr. Casey's in safety. I took tea there and then Ella and Mrs. Casey
