Mrs. Renner has a little babe - girl - born on Nettie Ross' fourth birthday. Pleasant weather. (T.S.R. 56. 2 P.M. 86. S.S. 76.) Aug. 11. Saturday. We have received a letter from Howard. He and Sarah enter the same class in the Normal - the Junior A. and the same that Ada did though as the course is now extended to three years instead of two, they are perhaps a trifle in advance of her. (T.S.R. 56. 2 P.M. 90. S.S. 81.) Aug. 12. Sabbath. We have attended S. school today as usual. (T.S.R. 58. 2 P.M. 92. S.S. 82.) Aug. 13. Monday. School commenced again today with Mr. Ambrose and Miss Howe as teachers. All the children are now at school but Ada, who is still at home from teaching, and Eunice, who is today three years old. She weighs thirty pounds and is two feet and eleven inches in height. She is just as tall as Hannah and Ida were, which is taller than Mary and Willard were. Her weight is also the same as Ida's and Mary's, which is more than Hannah's was. She is very forward in talking and singing, and loves to play visit with Hannah and other little girls. She will knock at the door, come in, shake hands and say, How is your health today, pretty well? She talks plainly and uses good grammar, also learns many of the words to songs. I think she resembles Ada very much at the same age and her hair is the same color, only her eyes are brighter. I have written to Howard today. (T.S.R. 62. 2 P.M. 92. S.S. 83.) Aug. 14. Tuesday.
