Thursday 17th (April)
I went to school, but was disappointed at finding Mr Lippitt sick.
However we recited. The day passed off as usual. I went home in the evening and
found the folks preparing to go and hear Jenny Lind. I went down to William L[ewis] with Cousins E[lizabeth]
& C[aroline]. I met Thomas H[unt] and he went along spent a very pleasant evening
had a pleasant walk home but had to run most of the way. I heard them tell how much
they were pleased with hearing Jenny sing.
Who are the folks that are going to hear Jenny Lind tonight?
Father and Libby? Why isn’t Serena included? Why doesn’t Thomas Hunt go to hear
Jenny Lind? Does this have anything to do with the problems that Libby and
Thomas seem to be experiencing? William Lewis, Serena’s cousin, and his wife
Virginia Baldwin Lewis must have attended Jenny Lind’s concert on Monday.
