**Transcriber's note: Grace goes to dancing lessons every Thursday for the next several weeks. This news article describes the classes, and indicates that the lessons are to be every Friday, but that appears to be an error.

Dandy day and warm. We washed. Fred Pretti's horses ran away and Mr Derr stopped them. Rec'd W.H. and Wallie's letters and ans'd W.M.'s letter.
**Transcriber's note: "W.H." is assumed to be Winifred Humphrey throughout Grace's diary. Winifred lives in Greenville and comes to visit and stays with Grace in July, so they seem to be very friendly. During the July visit she is still referred to as W.H.
