Last night my beautiful plug slipped the rope over its head and I guess went home. Had to walk to John Olson’s - a mile – and Ralph drove me to the schoolhouse. Got through school all right but in the morning one of the girls brought me a letter from her mama giving me some advice and slandering some of the children whose parents I suppose she is prejudiced against. Ralph went into town and got me a pony.

NOTES
1. It may have been Joe Olson rather than John Olson - hard to read.
2. In a hidden pocket of her diary, Hilda saved two unpleasant notes from the interfering parent.
3. See an entry in Betsy's Boxes for information and images about the school and a scan of the note from the advising mama.
