Sunday, January 4th It had snowed all night, and a rainy afternoon
followed a damp cloudy morning. Sarah, Nathaniel and I
attended Mr McLane's church in the morning. In the
afternoon we went down to "our little santuary" (as [I?] -
would express himself) and heard a very good sermon
from Brother Douglas
We all staid at home together in the evening, and passed
it very pleasantly.

Monday.. Pleasant. The birthday of the city of Williamsburg.
Cannons were fired, and other demonstrations of [salisful-
tions?] were given by the inhabitants, who all agreed that
it was high time for the over-grown village to emerge
from its obscurity and take its stand among the cities
of the Empire State. The number of inhabitants is at present
about [30,000?]. and is rapidly increasing. It will certainly
be a city worth mentioning before long.
Sarah and I spent most of the evening with Mrs Stearns.
Heard that H. was better and out of danger.

Tuesday.. Rained hard all day. We spent it pleasantly at home.
Wrote to Dr Kent.

Wednesday.. Pleasant. George Hudson called in the afternoon. Henry
is better. We attended singing school in the evening
? Warner, H. Wilde & E Horing? came home with us
and stopped in. Sarah, Cornelius, and I commenced studying
French with Caroline. Father returned.
