March 7, 1884, Friday

Clear, mild.  Wrote Mr. James Alfred Jones to ask his influence with Mr. Corcoran to get Mrs. Massie into "Louise Home."  Wrote Miss Susan Preston about mistake as to my sending her bag of molasses, for which she had thanked me.  Cannot imagine how such a mistake could have occurred.
Called on Mrs. Brand in afternoon.  Very high wind.  River very rough.  River still rising.
