User-Contributed Transcription 22. The house was in a dreadful way when we left, & nothing would have indured me to have stayed another week. The workmen had already torn down my piazza & Mothers' bed-room down stars, every carpet & all the books & furniture had been transfered to the bowling - alley, & billiard room. It was most dilapidated looking place when we drove off. Ernestine is to sleep in the dining room to her great horror, for she is in mortal fear of burglars, though Mr Burling has arranged with the police to have the place watched. The last night Mr Isham & Sammy Johnson called. Sammy & I took a moonlight stroll around the North side, Sammy was very confidential, not to say affectionate; he told me I knew more than half the grownup young ladies, which I thought was quite overpowering, for him. Mr Isham is our lawyer, & very nice every way, handsome too. We received them in a bare parlor, even the gas fixtures were gone, & we had to use candles.
