This afternoon Motehr and I went down to Jarvis I wnet on down to Dicks to see about a hired girl but was dommed to be disappointed again. How mysterious are the paths by which wer are lead. It seems impossible to understand the dealings of god with us. But He says "What I do thou knowest not now but shall know hereafter.

Charley has been rooling barley again to day. We finished up about twenty acres to night. I have yet one small piece and then we will be done. I went off this morning after Fanny Banister to help us. She came this afternoon. I called on the minister Mr. Ebersoule who lives at the corner of our place this morning and had quite a pleasant and proffitable talk with him about that which lies nearest my heart, the religion of Jesus. Nothing delights me so much as this glorious subject.
