21st Mother & I & Willy went down to Universalist meeting. Had a good sermon. 22nd At home & busy. My nineteenth birthday. 23rd Mother & I went up to Mr. (?) and called at Mr. Gillettes. I invited Lillie & Kate & Eliza to visit me Wednesday night. When we came home, we found Eva’s mother here. I think it high time. 24th To day or this morning, Lizzie called & I rode down to the village with her. This afternoon Mother and Father went to the village. O I do wish I was not so nervous. Everyone calls me cross and fretful because the noise of the children disturbs me so. But I can’t help it. Mary (?), M Baldwin & Hannah called here, quite an event. Mary invited me to ride with her.
