I had to treat him pleasantly & think it best to be good friends till he knows as he is going so soon but if he is going to stay I could not & even now knowing what I do I sometimes think I ought not to speak to him ever.

One thing I will say he has such a disposition as Job must have had as he would not notice me though he (?) he more talked about us. 29th Rainy (?) & dreary. Mr. Hill not at home. Mollie came in after school. Writing for the budget box.
