63° Ther. THURS. MAY 19, 1898; S.E. Wea.

Edwd & Dora drove to Laurel after
and earlier breakfast. the latter to go
to Philadelphia to make a visit to
her aunt Harriet Kirk. E reached

It had been much warmer to day
& toward evening we had another
thunder gust. There were two "trials"
at Esq. Fairall's. one of a colored
man ("Henry Green") who broke into
Saml Bond's store on Sunday
night last. He was sent to jail to
await trial at Court; the other
was a foolish "assault case" among
the darkies & was "dismissed".
I wrote to F. Tyson by afternoon
mail.
