Charley is still helping Tisdale plough. I have been frixing up the eve {illegible} arround the waggon-house muyself. Did not get my job quite done. The weather has changed somewhat and now I think it is going to be colder. I am now reading the Prophecies of Jeremiah. It seems to me, that this book, more than any other of the Old Testament Scriptures, reveals to us the awful consequences of Sin: as well as the dreadfully depraved condition of the human heart. God help me, that I may never depart from following thee.

Charley is helping Tisdale plough yet. He will probably finish to morrow. I have been out to Dover to day. Was disapointed again in not getting the money. I have hopes however that it will come soon. Was up to John Matthews to night to see about geting Leonora home. If the roads are at all passable they want me to go after her. The weather is still warm and the roads muddy. I am realising still the great peace of Zion's children. I am happy in the Lord.
