As it was a nice day there were a great many visitors up to the Cap. There were some hot discussions on the Penalty Clause and the Sargent at Arms was commanded to make order.
Mrs. Veeder stayed with us over night. Had to go up and work in the evening. [illegible] Martin Holton was up and spent the evening. Played games etc. Did not feel much like entertaining as I felt cross and tired. McKinley is President.
NOTES
1. The Penalty Clause may have referred to (alchohol) prohibition law.
2. Hilda wrote "Sargent" instead of "sergeant."
3. From Wikipedia:
