Exquisite day and I breaked with the girls as it was D's last morning here. Mr Garland came and they put up small balcony cnarming.. but made a turgid morning... It was nice to get D off with the Halls. in their auto. trunk and all.
Had little rest and called up A to see if he remembered his engagement with me. for the mouth. Yes and he came at 2.I5 before I was quite ready.
Had had good reports from Mc Clung and much to tell. How good to have him so communicative.
Lay on sofa and made himself at home.
Was pleased to hear about the letter fr Dalzell about my doing Senator Paine. and wants me to have him here. Was called off by Hammond absurd proposals. came back and I did more. but he had to go away as Miss R Horner came. Pleasant visit fr her Most agreeable and some talk of old times but not much.
  sup out and sitting in moonlight but not ve[[r]]y brillant.
