Apr. 26th Friday

A lovely morning. Just finished a letter to the boys & now must prepare for a ride & now after dinner will go for another ride. After being gone about three hours we reached here in time for dinner & had such a nice ride. Mary E___, C___, & I went way the other side of Nashua & called at the home of a Mrs. Waterbury who years ago attended Phipps Female Seminary at Albion, NY where I did. They have a very pleasant pretty place and we enjoyed our ride so much. Is a very fine country around here and we are having such a nice time. It’s a very pleasant day & the roads are fine but the small grain needs rain. We returned in time for dinner and after went to Bradford, a very pretty little place where Uncle Levi Hubbell kept store years ago & what at that time was supposed to be destined for a town of much size & merrit but the railroad coming near by ( ? ) was taken to railroad at Nashua. The parents of Mrs. E B Taylor of David City, Mr. & Mrs. Hiram Thayer reside there & we called there. Had a very pleasant call then returning Mary Eliza & I took Beatrice to depot as she goes to Waverly to see dentist has been troubled with a swollen face ever since we’ve been here & now better, so went to have her teeth attended to as she begins her first school teaching next Monday if able. Some cooler to night.
