She had received the letter and the one to Miss R. V.M care of her. She had not had time to deliver the letter. She was quite pleasant. Pauline had a cold. Their cousin a tall and rather nice looking fellow . They stayed till quite late. We had something to eat about 11. We passed the time pleasantly. George + Belle on good terms. To bed and slept soundly.
