Diary of Anita Dwyer Withers
San Antonio,
Texas.
May 4th. 1860.
May the 1st. was the first time that I went down to breakfast with my Husband since the birth of our baby. That morning I practised on the Piano, and took a ride in the afternoon.
May 4th.
All well (T G) Mrs. Mitchell, Miss Conrad, Miss Post, and Miss Rodriguez called to see me, they were all delighted with little Edward. We took a short drive. My Mother came over in the evening to take care of the baby so that I might go and hear the Swiss bell Ringers but I did not care to attend.
May 5th. [1860]
Rather a pleasant day. I wrote to Mrs. T. Dwyer as she expects to start for Europe soon. I have just received a letter from my dear Aunt Maria they were all enjoying good health. Charlotte bought the baby a bottle and India rubber nipple.
Our place now looks beautifully green and shady. The gardin is very fine.
