At 10 A. M. went to the east side with Roxena. Fine Arts
Hall and then for bath. P. M. called at Mr. Barnitz’, Bys’, Mrs. Cobb’s and
Cous. Brougham's. Fannie and I rode out — E. Cleveland, etc. Enjoyed myself
hugely. We also went to hear Anna Dickinson. “Words for the Hour.” After lecture,
walked and talked over our love affairs, and discussed our relations and
feelings. Had it not been for a few hindrances and contingencies, I think we
would have engaged ourselves. Under the circumstances I could and would not
entertain the thought. I love the girl and hope she loves me. God forbid that
we should ever be married to be unhappy, if ever done must be mutual
self-sacrifice from choice. God help and bless both of us.
