This has been a lovely day, all well. Mr Faulds arrived from Louisville this morning at eight o'clock. Ada went over to Mrs LEiter to get a table from her to paint for the Fair. She is one of the managers. James Faulds and I went down to Mrs Hobsons to get a new hat for Eva. Belle and Eva went to Mr Walhs house to look at it with a view to buy, it is a mangificent house that cost him two hundred thousand dollars, on Prairie Avenue. After tea James and Ada went to the Theatre to see Jefferson play Rip Van WInkle

Another pretty cool day, I think last night we had a little frost, it was the first. Ada Mattie & James gone to the exposition. Florence Hilton called so did Miss Gurnee to say Good bye, she goes to morrow to Europe with her Mother Father and Mr Armour, to remain a year. At six o'clock this afternoon, David Virginia Mattie & James all returned back to their old home in Louisville they have been absent since the first of June. I went to the Depot with them in Belle's Carriage, I stopped to see the baby she still coughs, it seems lonely with my Sisters family. I engaged a new girl to night by the name of Letitia for our Dining Room.
