Sac. [Sacramento] Aug.4:1850.

Ps. [Psalm] 106:15.

"And he gave them their re-
-quest; but sent leanness into
their soul."

~ [centered]

Weak, fallible, blind man little
knows what is good for others
not what he should seek for
himself.

Loving Earth and
its gratifications often beyond
their merits, & seeking that happiness
in them wh. [which] they have no power to
afford – he delves for things of
Earth without reason, and craves
from Divine Mercy what is not for
(So many more ways of Evil than good) ~
