Wednesday, February 4, 1863

Valonia Reppert & Mary J. Newton came on morning train to spend the day but finding Lizzie & Kate absent, they went to Mr. Harts.  Thermometer 8o above zero this morning.  The train was delayed at Pilcher by a cattle train which got off the track so Lizzie & Kate did not arrive at home until nine o’clock at night.  They brought with them a box of Brittania for me.

Peggy's comments:
Brittania biscuits were manufactured in the late 1800's.  Could this be the treat that Lizzie and Kate brought to Julia?
