=== SUNDAY, AUGUST 28, 1870. === Mother and I went out to Dover this morning. Heard Bro German preach in the morning and I went over to the Presbyterian Church in the afternoon Heard one of their ministers from Ayer. Took tea with the Scotts, and enjoyed it, as a matter of course. We stayed to the night service and by so doing were obliged to stay all night on account of the darkness and rain. I did not spend the night very comfortably as I felt uneasy about home matters. === MONDAY, AUGUST 29, 1870. === The boys have been ploughing again to day. One of our young heifers was missing and I was all the forenoon in geting her. Found her in the strawstack at last. We came home this morning from Dover and found that it had not rained anything like as much as it did at Dover. My mind is quite unsettled still with refference to the matter of a companion. Taking{?} the present position of this matter as my guide under my Heavenly Father I know not which way to turn - only as He leads me
