  <mods:abstract>Informing Mrs. Lesley of the sudden death of William Henry Furness, and detailing social visits to Mrs. Stilwell, the Hoppers, Mrs. Jackson, and the Blisses. At Mrs. Stilwell's: dancing and a flirtation with Miss Olie (a niece); at the Hopper's: the news of Miss Maria's return; at Mrs. Jackson's: a meeting with Frank Neale (a neglected acquaintace), and the observation that Miss Helen's engagement has improved her looks; and at the Bliss': the viewing of several paintings acquired at auction, and an observation on the improvement of the hosts' sense of aesthetics.</mods:abstract>
