accompanied me to Mr. Tenney's. They had a house full of company, and Mr. Tenney did not get home until seven o'clock, and by the time I had my business with him arranged it was eight o'clock, and altogether too late to meet my friends at the boat. It being very dark I thought it likely that they had gone home long before Sinclair & Alex Botkins came over to Mr. Tenney's and Mrs. Mesees (sp) invited us all over to their house to spend the evening. We had a very pleasant time, playing Proverbs &c.
Saturday 31st
Rose early, after breakfast went out to the barn to hunt for eggs, got seven in all, I had to go to Mr. Danniring's(sp), and so walked up as soon as possible after breakfast, it was something over a mile. Mr. Danniring(sp)said I might ride on a load of wheat with him if I chose which I did accordingly. Ella & I went over to Mr. Tenney's after Eliza who with Ella was going home with me. We started about nine o'colock found it very warm and dusty, got into town a little after ten, the girls staid all day. Eliza's father came for her in the evening. Ella staid all night.
Sunday Sept. 1st
Went to church, rained some all day. Ella & I and Maria went to the Universalist Church this evening.
