May 9th warm rain this morning, and I am more comforted
then last night, and we have surround the family after with
thanksgiving. and I wish that I could feel more grateful
to the giver of all things, My Dear Miss Giles is a engaged
christen and her prayers are so comfortiong to me
I am disappointed that I could not go to Mrs Bowers this
Morning for the rain and my health is not so good as usual
set a watch, O lord, before my mouth: keep the door of
my lips
let all to jesus' cross draw nigh:
he bore the cross for all
