(will you please excuse these ink marks. My pen caught on the edge of the paper while I was writing on the other page, now I discover the result) I had promised Ella to visit her Saturday and had forgotten it, however a girl came Sat morning looking for a place and wanted to come then, as she came well recommended I took her she did her work nicely and I went to Rome Sat crossed out: 6 PM 4.46 PM, Ella & Bessie with Charly & the Carriage met me at the Depot They are all well There, I staid until Tuesday morning Ella went home with me to have some Dress fitting done. We found Thomas at at home, ^or had been, he came Sat night, sometime and had some difficulty in getting in F slept so soundly she did not hear him & Alex thought it was a grocery man so let him pound as hard as he wanted to, finally F heard him & called from the window "Who is there" He said "Come down & open the front door" Monday night he went away again & came home at 2 AM Thursday I think since that has been here all the time
