This has been a pleasant day, after the rain. We have had company this after[noon]. Mrs. Chappel and Mrs. McAin, they come up to spend the afternoon and get some peaches. Mrs. Macain bought a bushel at 2 dollars a bushel.
We had a pleasant spirit. Mrs. Mac told my fortune. She told me I was soon to be married to a young gentleman with dark eyes and dark hair and she said I was not to stay at home this winter, that I was going away soon.

Well and still another pleasant day, and we have had company again to day. Mary Potts and Susie Frakes come to spend the afternoon. We had a very pleasant visit.
Rob and Pa has been plastering a cistern for Mr. Hastings to day over to the old home.
David went to the fair to day in Pontiac. It is the last day. I did not go this year.
I have the tooth ache to night, but not as hard as last night.
Do we know which Mary Potts this is? My grandfather's mother was Laura Potts.
