Thursday, February 13, 1868 – “Mrs. Gen. Grant affects pink silk.”

This is a fair kind of a day. The wind is South to day. This is fast day. The folks are to church. I am not doing much today. I rote a letter to day. [code]
I bought a new vest? to day from John Solomon.
John Solomon is here this forenoon. He went to John R. Thompsons* to night. One year ago to day Mary Gowanlock was here.

A young lady being asked by a politician which part she was most in favor of, replied that she preferred a wedding party. 
Mrs. Gen. Grant affects pink silk.

*This probably is John R. Thomson (1810-1892), son of Andrew and Elizabeth Thomson.  He was married twice, first to Mary McFarland (1812-1842) and later Helen Armstrong (1819-1905).
