Friday May 1st 1874

This is May Day, but it is clear and cold. Not like the May days I used to spend when a child in Kentucky. There it was so warm and flowers in abundance. I went this morning with Shreve to have his tooth plugged. He is now through with him, he did not have much to do his teeth are so fine. I went to Belle's and saw Maggie and gave her some advice. Mr Harvey is now painting the house. Mrs Sawyers? called to see me last night Gen Forsyth, Mr Angell, Mr Kelly, and Gen Webster
