Feb 26, 1862. Mother Rosa & I started directly after breakfast & went to see Mrs Hopkins then to Tina’s where we spent the day. About dinner time a tremendous storm came up & Tina fell down on the piazza & was for a time quite unwell. Coming home the trees had blown down so thick in the road that we tried to ride around them & were lost for some time, but at last arrived home safely & found all right.
