The following excerpt was provided by the seller: "Sunday July 5 1931 "Another party stopped to admire the house, from Hartford, like yesterday...I looked over diary of 1872 this date, Kittie's and mine, our engagement day. A sad contrast to my lonely desolation now...But a joyful record and fifty-four years of our blessed life followed. Monday August 10, 1931 "Wood from shed. The poor little black and white kitten died. She had been the most active of all. Lately used to climb up and scurry down across the back of neck, in the chair, and climb up and sleep (?) by my shoulder. Thus (?) the fourth kitten died lately. I miss them." Friday November 27 1931 "About an inch of snow. Reminds me of a Thanksgiving years ago when Father took us to (?) for Thanksgiving dinner at the Merrill cousins in a sleigh....We had steady sleighing until the end of March..."
