Mrs Watters & I went to Church 6 o;clock to attend evening service
after tea we all took a walk on the Campus--& Eliza gave us
music until 9 o'clock. No papers or letters this morning as the
Nail did not come in last night--I finished the frock Liz
gave Eliza & it looks very pretty on her--Sarah has given
her a beautiful present--Two gold bands for her wrists.  The
prettiest I have seen--Liz bought a couple of water melons. The first of
