13th A most unendurable hot day. Frank and I went down to the village to night. It seems strange to see so many strangers there to one who has always been so well acquainted. We called on Emily a few minutes. I do want to visit her. Came home by moonlight and took a bath in the creek. 14th Have not been very well to day. We have had such a beautiful shower that everything and body feels refreshed. Mother & I have been sewing and have had a very pleasant afternoon. Am studying to night.
