SELECTIONS FRGIVI THE DIARY OF MISTRESS NESBIT JANUARY 1, 1849 . Little Book, I hereby inscribe myself as your authoress and the historian of these dunes and scrub oak dotted prairies. You were such a surprise, dairy! The stage coach from New York had been delayed and the plans we settlers made for Christmas were all awry. We made crude toys that did delight the hearts of the small children and indeed we were happy in the doing-but for myself I expected naught. How proud then when it was morning I found beside the fireplace this fair book which my mother had these many years kept in her trunk. It is a family heirloom and why no Nesbit eler had inscribed themselves within, I know not, but now it is mine. Here shall I tell of joys and sorrows and perchance I shall be writing his- tory that someday will be of use. Little Book, how I do cherish thee already. JANUARY 20 Snow everywhere for days and days. At noon how gladly did we hear a joyous halloo outside our drifted cabin door. Whom should we see but Bertram Francis from the next set- tlement bearing a brace of rabbits and some partridge for my mother. Three days had he been camping through the snowy woods in company with the Indian guide. Of true pioneer stuff is this lad, my father says. Of such there is need. I-Ie will make a great man in these parts some years hence. FEBRUARY 22 Dear Little Book, such thrilling news I have to indite to you tonight before I sleep. We have had a gay party at the old log school in honor of George Washington's birthday. First off-such a surprise-came Dorothy Thomson riding on the horse of good brother Sweigart, the circuit rider. Never have we seen him before in gay mood and unprayerful. I-Iow fair did she look against the black of his cleric suit. And such a joke, Little Book! Elsie Kocsls spelled the minister down. But more of her anon. And later did we dance the Virginia Reel with Lewis Della Rocco calling off and stamping loudly with his feet to make the dance more merry. Aye, but he was the life of the crowd. MARCH 17 ,Tis St. Patrick's Day, Book of Mine, and such gayety is planned. I am to spend the night at neighbor O7Toole's so I must write in you now and more tomorrow night. 'Tis an en- gagement party to feast the promise of Josephine O'Toole who is to wed John Moore, grandson of the Irish poet. John will sing Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young Charmsv which his ancestor wrote, with the harp accompaniment by Zelma Lamb. Oh Book, it would wring the heart of a stone to hear them. APRIL 3 I must hurry, Diary. Soon the bob sleigh will be at the door and six couples of us are going miles to a new settlement called Kankakee where the maple sap is stirring in the trees and Farmer Wells has invited us to a sugaring off. I-Iarkl I hear the bells on the horses now. Page Sixteen
