Write in my journal, why I have scarcely had time to think of it much less give it a line—And now as it is, every one is here, except myself and considering it was ½ 2 o’clock, when I went to bed last night, I should say it was time for me to be there now—but dear me, how can I begin to rember, what I have been about since last Wednesday—exactly a week! Let me see—Wednesday night Mr Howard came up to say good bye—we had a nice long chat of old times—he finished his “hearts history” that night—I wonder very much at his keeping his high opinion of Women, surely he has had enough to change it—but that is all over with now—and I expect he will be “carrying his prayer book” the next time I see him he is a fine young man, I would write all about what he told me of his past life, but I will never tell it without his consent, & therefore cannot even trust it to the pages of my journal—it was past 11, when he left, (I think).

Thursday morning we all started off, lay, box, trunks, basket, little box and bundle, we had to spend three or four hours at Rocky Mount. I dislike that very much—oh me the clock is warning me, it is 11, and I am so sleepy! I am fearful I will nod before I finish—I’ve arrived here “safe and sound.” Thursday night, about ten—found Carrie Callie, and Mr Cobb, at Dr Wrights’ gate—Carrie was waiting to see if I came—Friday morning she came over to see me directly after breakfast—spent an hour or so—she asked me to come over, and take me with her—about six, Mr Jimmie Wright called for me—soon after cousin and Mr Joe Wright and Carrie came. I went, although, I felt little like it I must confess I think I was slightly touched with the “Blues” I felt a little sick too, and I know I made myself very disagreeable to Mr Jimmie Wright, but I could not throw them off, I can’t say because I do not know what gave them to me—I spent a pleasant evening with that exception—I wonder what pleasures Mr Wright for he seems to dislike to talk to me, and is so very reserved, that I cannot think of any thing in the world I have done or said to make him act in that way, he is not at all like himself—I came home from Dr Wrights with Mr Joe Wright, and Claypole begged me so hard to stay all night with her, that I did so—for which thing, I am so sorry—she has not been to see me at all since I came except to stay about 15 or so, minutes, one night—we all walked around by Dr Derrossets then Claypole &c, came with me here a few minutes—I then went home with her and stayed ‘til late Saturday evening, we had rain nearly all day—Carrie spent it with us—oh me I am so sleepy, I will have to give up, and go to bed—I am not half through yet, and cant pretend to say, when I will be able to write again, oh! Me I am not half through—Hope to be blessed with pleasant dreams—if I remember rightly, they were quite pleasant last night—
