[Hosea Stout Diary] T. 29th. In the morning Andrew Lytle came here and I went with him to the flat and went to see Egan & Kay then came home and after dinner went to the Lodge and then met the police and came home at dark about which time Br Egan came with a buggy after me to go to a small party at his house to celebrate his wifes birth day.I went we had a most agreeable entertainment and had a very delicious Supper well served up, plenty of wine & beer & other good drinks.the feast was mostly entertained with music, (i.e.), three violins bass viol and horn, with occasional Singing and agreeable conversation Br William Clayton, Wm Pitt, Hutchison, Smithie & Kay were the musicians.We continued untill about half past twelve oclock at night when we dismissed and went awayI have been to but few such agreeable parties in my life where a few were assembled together with the same good feelings of friendship.All seemed of one heart & partook of the enjoyment of the good things and co
mforts of [life] with
that dignaty which bespoke that they knew how to appreciate the blessings of God in the way that he designed we should.May they all have many more such good & happy nights.I came home at day light.
