Abstract:
Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Reigart, and Mr. Trimble recently left for Lancaster and Philadelphia. Refuses to tell Tully the name of “the Damsel for whom I yearn.” Brief mention of the Dutch. Read a publication on divination, curious to know how much of it that has entered into science is “fallacious.” Remarks on the publication’s discussion of pagan theology and the difference between natural and artificial divination. Curious whether Astrology, Physiognomy, Horoscopy, and Chiromancy retain elements of divination. Tells “an amusing description of Dancing,” including a brief reference to African American musicians. Recommends removing troublesome teeth, for “extraction tis much better than distraction.”
