Saturday June 8

Maggie had a party from town, young ladies & gentlemen.  Kate, Lucy and Ephe are here.  Mr. Burgess has gone to Ross Co. to spend the Sabbath.  Four or five of the gentlemen came down here with Ephe & got bouquets of flowers.  Lucy and Ephe returned to town this evening.  A company of troops went down on the cars this morning.  Lizzie sent a basket of pies and biscuit to soldiers who are guarding the trestles.  William at Marietta today.  I have suffered since yesterday extremely with a cold which settled in my face, swollen and painful.
