July 28. I have not written in this diary for two days, I am sorry for I wanted to write in it every day, but it could not be helped. Laura Stewart was over yesterday after noon, she caught such a funny butterfly out in the country, I wanted her to trade it to me for a Polyphemus moth but she would not do it. I was sorry she came over yesterday afternoon for there was so many things I wanted to do. I have been stretching some moths this morning. I think I will take my Regalis off of the stretcher for it has been on the stretcher over three weeks, I would not have left it on that long only Miss Walton said she would or it would not be fully dry. July 31, I went up the other day and had my picture taken. I don't like the proof's but prephaps I will like the picture better. I went up to Bessie's this afternoon and staid to supper.
