Sat. May 15, 1897 Wea. nice

Got up quite early and talked fire till you could not rest. Kitty went home this morning. Mr. Spelker came up this evening.

I spent seven hours at hard, hard study. Mrs. Welch helped me and we had hard work to keep from talking.

In the evening, Mrs. W. and I went down to the river for a walk. Mr. Richards was there and he went up after the oars but Nils Larson and Gaylord had got them before and went for a ride. Never even asked us – but they new better!

Note: Hilda wrote "new" instead of "knew."
