=== WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9, 1870. === Charley has been spliting wood &c. to day I took ma out to Dover on a visiting expedition. We took dinner with Mrs. Coppway and afterwards I visited or rather called at a number of places. Amongst others at Mrs. Sovereigns where I had a great time with Mrs. H. Sovereign and Annie Douglas who was there helping make a quilt. We took tea and spent the evening at Walter Olds The past day has not been one of my brightest day yet my strength is all in HIm. === THURSDAY, MARCH 10, 1870. === My man has, as usual been spliting wood at the House. I went up to the blacksmiths this forenoon to get a tyre set on the new wheel which I have been making. Got it done all right. How needful that the moral structure of our life ben be not not neglected even for one moment. It is said that every action or thought of a man no matter how small is followed by its influences either for good or for evil. And that influence, or rather the result, may be lasting as eternity.
