[A section of the text is obscured by the following notice pasted on top: Office of the Harrisburg Cotton Company, Harrisburg, Pa. June 9^th, 1860. The Board of Directors have this day declared a dividend of two per cent on the Capital Stock of this company, out of the profits of the business, and which will be paid on demand, as per annexed memorandum, at their office, corner of Second and North Streets. William Buehler, Treasurer. C. C. Rawn Esq. 7 Shares $100 each is $700 two per cent thereon is $14.]

. . . on the Board o f Directors. We did not so note formerly, (though this is but the 2^nd election I have attended) and there seems to me to be a meaning in it as casting the responsibility of the faithfulness of these officers in the Stock Holders who practically have nothing to do with them. It may answer a purpose if any thing should turn up like a treasurer default &c &c to turn to the part of this election by the stockholders. This thing must be looked into. I do not know whether this ___ gives bail or not. In plain terms although Mr. Buehler is a clever man I do not consider one competent to manage the financial affairs of such an establishment who was not shown the proper shrewdness, tact, prudence, economy, and care to manage his own more limited and private concerns. I have no hesitation in believing recording that the situation of things should be carefully examined speedily and more frequently scrutinized by the ___ stockholders and those outside of the favored or ___ ring.

Mrs. Rawn, Fanny and self took tea at Mrs. Beatty’s tea evening this evening. After tea we walked together to corner of 3^rd and North St. Mrs. Rawn went to Mrs. Eyster’s. We continued on to the Episcopal Mission Church where Mrs. Beatty, Miss Wyeth who was with us, Ellen Beatty and Fanny went in and I continued my walk 3 ½ miles circular. Stopped at Lecture Room of our church on my return where our choir was practicing singing. Mr. Simon has just got the stained glass (within 3 bays) into the windows of the church. The larger window is exorbitantly gay-gorgeous, brilliant, rich, dazzling, &c. and said by persons generally to be beyond all expression, elegant, and superior, but is therein wholly beyond my plainer taste the other windows suit my taste much better and are quite gay enough. The big window on the inside in the day time is more in accordance with my taste than in the inside in the daytime. Home at 8 to 8 ½ pm. To bed 9 to 10.
