Went up town early this forenoon so as to practice the pieces we sang at the Convention this forenoon. I got a little time to practice telegraphy this morning and this afternoon. The teachers formed a branch of the Michigan Teachers Reading Circle. I did not join because I will not have time for to tend to such a thing this season. I took dinner at Mr. Waters, Fred and Carrie came back yesterday to stay. It has been a warm day and the snow has been getting soft so that the roads are bed. Fred and Jessie Neill went to Platt and I will stay a day or two. I went up and practiced with the choir tonight, as Mr. Coates was away again. Got back at 9 o’clock. Sold some sugar at the store today.
