Thursday, October 22, 1868

Well, this has been a cold, cloudy day, and windy. Melia and I went down town to day to see Belle Tour. She has got her tickets. Mine drew 500 envelopes, 1 ream of writing paper and ladies’ portomoine [?], but I did not want them, so I sent for a breakfast shawl.

We commenced Clara’s dress this forenoon and carried our soap down cellar.

Neice notes: Belle Tour was an activist in Michigan who later started up Michigan's Red Cross division. Her clubs and speeches were elaborate and fun to attend!
