"Will Scott and all came over last night. They left for East. Will's wife is a charming girl. I have hardly seen one in an age who pleased me so well. She is tall, slender, fair hair and bright eyes--by no means a beauty, and yet a very sweet look--very bright, intelligent and good tempered and with perfectly natural but ladylike ways. I like her very much"
