Here it is late, every body in bed, or about to be, and I don’t feel at all sleepy, I was called to dinner Saturday just as I commenced the last remark—and felt so lazy, that I did not return to finish it—well! Let me see if I can finish to-night—as I commenced above Friday evening I was in Mr Tuckers store, when who should walk in but Mr Engelhard and Mr Saunders (not Spanish) I was not astonished, for I heard they were coming down, but I was glad to see them—after ten they called up to see us, and did not leave ‘til past 12—I spent a pleasant evening—Saturday it rained all day ‘til late in the evening, and we had a beautiful night—after ten Mr Saunders and Mr Engelhard came up to see us—left a little after 11—I spent a pleasant evening—After they left I read a letter from “Cousin Joe,” came out in the “Mag,” and I declare Mr Engelhard should be ashamed of himself, to write such a thing, it does not sound like him to me, but I know he wrote it—Sunday I went to Church, in the morning, Mr Ivey helped us out, got in late—after Church Mr Shephard and Mr Saunders helped me in the carriage, Mr Engelhard came up, and talked a few moments—I went in the evening, Mr Engelhard walked home with me, and Mr Saunders with Mother, they spent about half an hour then said “good bye,” and left to start for Chapel Hill this morning—I went down town this morning called to see “the Bryans,” & then went to Cousin Jane’s, to see Min, she was not at home, I was sorry, for I wanted to see her—spent a few moments and then walked up street, who did I meet with, on my way down to Cousin Jane's but Mr Engelhard, and Mr Saunders, Mr S joined us, at Mrs Lawrence’s on our return, went in to Mr Tuckers, while there Mr Engelhard walked in, he gave me “two cents” and Mr Saunders and I went down to Maslows, and treated, a big one I must say—we then walked out home, Mr Engelhard and mother, Mr Saunders, and I, they did not come in—after dinner Mother and I, walked up to see Mrs Rorke, spent an hour or so, then I went to Mrs Bram’s (or some such name) to get me some flowers, or a wreath—then called in to see Aunt Henry Haywood, then came home—I received a nice letter from Uncle Weddell tonight—I expect to attend Mr Holdens wedding party to-morrow night—Gov Swain gave Mr Engelhard and Mr Saunders permission to stay, and attend it—and now with the hope that the next time, I open this book, it will be, to fill a page, with the enjoyment of a pleasant evening—
