This morning a bright breeze sprung up. My boys were up about four o'clock to go to the Procession, the occasion of the event was the laying of the corner stone of the new Custom house. At ten I ordered my Carriage and I went with my two boys and Mr Badger and Ada to Mr Harvey's my soninlaw. We had an excellent view there. My Sister Mrs Shreve and her three children, also Mrs Faulds two children and Mr Faulds all went together. After it was over we took Mrs Harvey Nurse and baby to our house to dine, then sat on our front steps and enjoyed the breeze. David started for Louisville tonight but missed the train and returned to our house. Mr Harvey called tonight in his Dog Cart with his wife and four boys. He took us all a short drive, and treated to ice cream. Mr Keith and Mr Easton called tonight, they both well. My family now number 14 Whites and 2 Seamstresses, also five blacks. I like them very well.
