SEPTEMBER SUNDAY, 19 1886

On account of rain this morning we did not go to church as usual. We went down to Mrs Clarkes about noon. Mr Reid and I, Mr N. C. Holcomb & Mrs Lawes being there. Had a very pleasant visit with the latter. They came home with us on their way to James Holcombs and took tea with us. The only excuse for to days visit is that these friends go home to morrow.
