1896 (Friday) – In the afternoon, I went up town, up to the Burton’s for my music books and over to Aunt Emma Hague’s (Emma Elizabeth Webb) for a lesson. I went down to Grover’s to talk to May (May Grover) for a few minutes and then back up to the Burton’s, Melvin (Henry Melvin Sperry) came up and helped gather my belongings and then we went out home. I was very grateful for all that Burton’s had done for me, they always treated me as if I belonged to them and told me that any time I was in town I was perfectly welcome to make their home my home. Later I went up town to a dance in the Academy Hall, afterwards I went out home to sleep.
