Saturday 2nd (August)
Went over to the Hotel, dressed Albert, and wandered around all
day. Julia and I went over to the store and John came home with us. Staid a while
and said he would be back during the day, but was not. Mr Fisk came, but I tell
you he is a hard case. Dressed myself after tea when John, the sweet fellow called
and took me over to Maggie Crosbys to spend the evening. Spent a pleasant evening,
but was quite sad during the time John came home with me when, I met Mr Fisk sat
there and talked till nearly 12 o clock and then retired.
Serena spent the night with her friend Julia Jordan. Little
brother Albert was at the hotel. Did he spend the night alone? Who was caring
for him? Please, Serena, give us more details!
The Hotel may be the famous
Miami House, opened in 1840. According to Echoes of the Miami Valley, it is one of the most
frequented hotels in Piqua. It is described as being the finest hotel between Dayton
and Toledo at this time. The ceiling of the ballroom is painted blue and studded
with stars.
