September 12, 1883, Wednesday

At Sweet Springs, WV
Rainy, raw and damp.  Rained all last night.  Talk with Mrs. Beirne about starting to Baltimore with children next Wednesday.  Talked with Judge Perkins, he gave me a little volume, Happy Thought Hall.
Judge and Mrs. Perkins left in the afternoon for Millboro.  Poor old gentleman, I may never see him again.
