The clouds clear away and the day proves
fine. Emma and Edith go to church after
dinner. Lib and Van come over. Lib goes directly
to Rachels. Delavan stops here. When E & E return
from church, they are accompanied by Lizzy Woodman
Woodman and Miss Langley therefore we had
music all pm till supper time. Lib came over

late about the tea, that Van and Lib wouldn't
stay. Will Niles and Tom Maloney came too
