Aug. 9 - Mary Ellen and myself were invited to spend this forenoon at Dr. Andrus and the afternoon at Mr. Birds, and we did so. The Misses Calkins were also at both places. Met Mrs. Austin Seward for the first time and judge from her appearance that she is quite a sensible lady.
Aug. 10 - Been writing most of the day in the Luminary--think I know something how to sympathize with scribes of an earlier day before the very useful art of printing was known.
Aug. 11 - Have copied nearly all the pieces sent in. Think we shall have a very good paper.
Aug. 12 - Sunday evening. Mr. Corss got back yesterday from a three weeks visit to Mass. He preached today from 1 Cor. 1, 23 and the 84 Psalm, 5, 6 and 7 verses.
Aug. 15 - Last Monday Mr. Hezekiah Crowell and wife came here and brought with them Mr. John Crowell and wife and youngest daughter, who live in Rome, Ashtabula Co., Ohio. They, or rather he, has lived there 49 years, formerly from East Haddam, Conn. They stayed here over night and since have visited at all the Uncles over this way. Monday eve, I read the Luminary assisted by C. H. Phelps.
Aug. 16 - Quite a warm day. Just at night a thunder shower came up and the rain poured down for certain. It will most likely rain all night as we have had three or four pleasant days. Henry Miner came home last Tuesday from Bangor, Maine. It is two years since he was home.
Aug. 17 - A pleasant but cool day. Went to Dr. Andrus's this morning. Fanny and Susannah are here tonight.
