THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 1870.

We worked on the road again this forenoon. This afternoon we were blessed with a delightful shower. I went to Dover to night on horse-back. Found the roads quite muddy. Received a letter from my old friend F. W. S. to night was very unexpected. I did not however contain anything specially interesting more than this, that all were well. This circumstance makes my heart exceeding glad in the Lord, because it seems to be a token of his favour.

FRIDAY, JUNE 10, 1870.

It rained nearly all the forenoon, and we gladly took a rest. This afternoon we have been working in the roads as usual. To morrow we hope to finish up this work. It is a happy omen to see the churches of Christ drawing nearer together and presenting an unbroken {illegible, crossed out} front to the enemy. This unity of spirit is an evidence of the presence of the Holy Gost among the churches. On the day of pentecost the church prayed with an accord & note the result. Will not hte present union lead to the same {illegible} of the Holy Spirit?
