1894. Received letters from Alice, Hannah, Willie and Calvin. All unite in saying "stay there till cooler weather and you feel stronger". Hannah tells of a little wedding anniversary party she had, with ice cream, and how someone, for fun, exploded a little bomb under the window. Joe Smart took supper with us. He was but a boy when I was here last, now he is a man and bald all over the top of his head. He seems to be bright, industrious and enterprising - a good son to his parents. (T.S.R. 70. 2 P.M. 101.

Received letters from Hannah and Calvin, and wrote to Ida, Eunice, Howard and Hannah. They write of the weather as being very hot and sultry at home. Theresa today enters the Stockton High School.

Received letters from Horace and Hannah and wrote to Howard and Hannah. Horace writes from South Pond, Plymouth, where, with his family, he is taking a vacation for the benefit of his health, which, for some time has not been good, owing to over work. He is now gaining flesh and strength. (T.S.R. 70. 2 P.M. 95. S.S. 83.)
