Howard called me up today -- first time since Friday. His voice was "music" to my ears! My prayer tonight was: "Oh, God, all I ask is that I may have Howard's love and that someday I may be his wife."

It rained all day again today. I made some candy this afternoon. Baby, Bernice & I wrote letters to Zella & just to think! I had to red my letter aloud so I didn't get to tell Zella anything I wanted to. I don't get to see anyone to tell them my joys, troubles, etc. and I can't write them because Mama is bound she shall read every letter I get or send Oh!!!!!!!

It rained this afternoon. I got a letter from Delia Cooke today which caused Mama to give me a lecture. I know its cowardly but nevertheless I wish I was dead! Bernice & I started to read "Old Curiousity Shop".

Bernice and Baby went to town this afternoon and while they were gone, Edith Fast and Mary Hile came out. We three went over to the orchard with Mr. Pratt and ate mulberries. When we got back, Bernice and Evelyn Rafter were there. We all went over into the pasture for strawberries, and Edith and I went over and looked at the graves. I read Dorothy South last week and Our Bessie this week.

Zella and Lottie went to Lyndon this noon to attend Institute. Aunt Minnie & Louie were out this afternoon and they and Aunt Lulu stayed for supper. Howard & I went to the Band concert at the park tonight. I know I never shall love anyone like I love Howard. He is everything to me and the idea of Mama trying to make me quit "being so familiar with him" I can't help it, I tell you, I love him!!!! and I'm pretty sure he l_____ likes me. He took Max's tie pin away from me so I took his.

Today is Homer's fourteenth birthday and he was out this afternoon. Aunt Minnie, Allie, Louie and Homer are all here and Uncle Billy is coming too. Bernice and Zella both went to town. Miss S. entertained the Senior girls, so Homer, Baby and I went over in the pasture and picked strawberries and told secrets. I told him that Howard called me a "Lovin' Little Dickens". Quite a name isn't it? Aunt Lulu was down this afternoon with "The Kid." Mama and Papa & Zel all went to the Alumni Banquet. tonight. Ogilvia brought Zella home and he gave her a very pretty locket for a graduation present. Homer stayed all night with us and we went up to Aunt Lulu's awhile this evening. Homer is a fine boy, all right.
