Today has been one of the warmest I ever experienced—Lou and I buisy sewing on her dress—I finished the waiste , Lizzie the skirt and I think we will finish it tomorrow—
No news from any point today—Mary Lou joined Lou to entertain relations, Mrs. Reynolds & Mrs. Johnson went to Mrs. Hamilton’s, so Mrs. Young and I had the Pond to ourselves and the water was delightful after this warm day. Lou & I beat again at Cards—
10 o’clock at night—still suffocating. I don’t know how we shall manage to get through the night.
