Feb 16, 1881
After the usual exercises of reading the Bible we assembled in the Music Room. Lou played Monastery Bells very well. Mattie Kate then read "First Love" [?John Clare 1793-1864] a very amusing piece showing that this article is nearly always a gushing sickly sentiment which lasts but a short time. Mary read a very pretty piece called Genlte [Gentle] Words and Loving Smiles. [possibly by C.D. Stuart] Let me remember to use them both every day & thus make life more beautiful. Nannie [ F. Sale ] played Weber's Last Waltz & was followed by Mattie [ Kate Fauntleroy ] who read What Are You good for. Lucy [ Fleet ] read about Trees et al-Wear Hats & Loulie[ Starke ] a piece dedicated to a Baby. Sister [probably Louisa "Lou" Fleet] read a touching story of a little orphand girl travelling alone on a railroad, and how she found friends. Sallie [ Lee Blount ] ended a very pleasnt hour by playing Music of the Sea.[couldn't find]
