A little before that time Susie and little Sarah came, wishing me to go with her to visit Augusta. She helped me get ready, and we went not caring for the rain. Found the small house they live in rather small in a rainy day, when shut up tight. Aunt was there also. Susie came and spent the evening with us, while Geo. with Dr. Robert, etc. went to hear Mr. Fitch lecture on Republicanism at the Poland House. They report an interesting lecture.
