MONDAY, JUNE 27, 1870.

I started on my trip down below, but feel rather dubious about leaving home in the midst of haying. I have been intending to go down so long, however, that I can scarcely think of giving it up under any circumstance. Annie & Bessie came down with us. I enjoyed my ride down very much. We arrived at Jont{?} Carpenters about nine and had our tea there. Have thought to day a good deal concerning the matter of a companion, but still I would be lead of God.

TUESDAY, JUNE 28, 1870.

Remained at Jont's{?} until afternoon when Annie and I started for Hamilton expecting to attend the concert at the W. F. C. I went immediately to see cousin Nora but failed in my object as Dr. Rice said, the young ladies were preparing for the Concert. He gave me two tickets however for to night and to morrow night. We went to the concert and enjoyed it splendidly. The young lady performers did their work well, although they seemed to be a little bashful, some of them.
