January 7, 1866 pg 4

Thursday evening the Congregationalists
had an Exhibition. I went with Mrs
Favor and the children. The performances
were very fair. I thought not so good
as ours, but perhaps I am prejudiced.

Last evening there was a "thing" at the
"Elm House". It was a sort of a gymnastic
performance and quite good of it's kind.

I went with Col Rust, and afterward
we went into Lues and played "Bezique,"
a game which has just been introduced
in this place. Its quite pretty but not
very scientific.

You of course know that Henry
Millett is at home on furlough. He
looks much as he used to and seems
the same. He is not one of my favorites,
so I am only glad to see him because
his friends are glad. Lue will have
a big cousin party tomorrow evening.
I shall go and would like your escort
if you can make it convenient.

Augusta's baby is named Henry Millett Jackson.
