=== FRIDAY, JUNE 3, 1870. === Charley finished ploughing the peas{?} ground this morning. I sowed it afterwards and to night he had got it about done except rolling. I was up to George Matthews this morning to see about geting the old waggon repaired. I am living in constant expectation with refference to a certain blessing which the Lord has permitted to become the desire of my heart. It is not because I see any outward token of His favour that my hopes are so bright; but because of the sacred nearness to Him which I enjoy while in communion with Him about this matter. === SATURDAY, JUNE 4, 1870. === The boys have been drawing out manure to day for the first. I went out to town towards night. Stoped at Bowlbys and put in my horse on account of the bridge accross the dam not being completed. I stayed all night on account of rain. Who can say, that the Lord does not do all things well. True it seems hard to walk by faith, sometimes, and not by sight. Yet Lord I beseech thee help me that I may not forget that thou hast said, "What thou knowest not now thou shalt know hereafter."
