John Comes Courting

Colonial Williamsburg

John has asked permission to court me and Father has consented. I am pleased. He'll join our family for church on Sunday and return to the house for dinner. My sister Clara predicts that we'll be married by June. I hope so. He comes from a fine family and lives in a stately home. I imagine living there as his wife and am filled with pleasure. I have long desired to be mistress of my own house. But listen to me; I'm racing ahead of myself. First we must begin with courting, then see how things progress.
