Tuesday. Pleasant. Sewed in the morning. Kate Hudson and
Henry with Miss G. Griffin took teawith us. George
called but pleading an engagement left just before
tea. They all left about eight o'clock, mostly on Henry's acco[rd.]
Mr and Mrs Hudson called soon after. Mr Hudson greeted
us all with a kiss. He has altered very much and wears
a beard three or four inches long. I do not think I
should have known him. Mother and Father were not
at home, they were visiting Albert and Mary Emma.
Wednesday. Pleasant but very cold. Early in the afternoon [Hattie]
and I called on Miss M. Smith and the Havers. Harriet
then left me to call on Mrs Skinner, and I crossed the
Houston street ferry and called on Mrs Evans in [Lours]
(saw H. passing as I stood in the ferry house). Staid some time
Mrs Evans, who is a cousin of Ellen Leager and then
proceeded to the house of Miss Harriet Thompson in
Rutgers Place. Harriet and Caroline had arrived just before
me. We passed the remainder of the afternoon and
evening very pleasantly. Five theological students and
another gentleman joined us after tea. In such company
who could but enjoy themselves. Piety and intellectual
attainments are after all the things most to be desired
in a companion. Conversation elevated and refined I
find that I can appreciate much more highly than a [pretty]
face, a fashionable address and a tongue and mind constantly
employed on trifles.
We left about half past ten. Mr Dane accompanied
me to the ferry.
