Sarah & I went to prayer meeting in evening. Enjoyed it very much. Mr. Ferguson there.

Wed. 25th. I was picking cherries when Mrs. Ferguson came after having left Mr. F. at station to go to Hamilton. E.M. brought him down with him at noon. They stayed for dinner - had green peas, then went home, took some currants & goose berries with them. {He} had prayers before leaving. We wore our crinolets last ev'g to prayer-meeting & as we got in Mr. Fer. buggy ( he overtook us going down, we also rode back with him) mine flew up below my dres. Dont think he noticed - hope not anyway.
