Jim to stay here tonight .  Thought best to get myself off at two so as to have more time in Phila to push on Haseltin
Anna got me off .. and had pretty good trip ..  Took hansom straight to Haseltines and had explosion . Refused to anything and I left in a rage and really sorry to have to quarrel with m old friends.  Got to Lewis's and began teling at once and got things fixed with M'Clees who was ready and Mrs Penrose . Had to give up the Borie.  Am trying now f r Acheson.  Anne and Mr Lewis were uot for din which I had with the boys . e y tired but looked at the pics till my beloved came at 8.30 looking radiant and beautiful. We at once discussed the great event and he told me it was to be in Sept.  Sophie is very well.  We are to meet in morn and go to the circuit Court.  Glad to get to bed but slept very badly.
