This has been a nice day. Melia and I went down town to see if my Box had come. We called at Mrs. Chappel’s and then went down town and found my Box had come! It came Tuesday night, so I guess we will go down and get it in the morning if we are all right.
I expected a letter to night, but there was none for us. I don’t see the reason they don’t write.

This has been a pleasant day. We have been doing a little of everything to day. I have been distributing my goods to day. They were well pleased with them.
Maria came up this afternoon to stay until tomorrow night.
Melia and I went down town this afternoon. Heard Julia Mcain was very sick and expected to live till morning. I really hope she will be well!
