Monday, May 6, 1872

Wednesday, Oct22, 1879 we have now had a whole week of beautiful warm weather, in fact unaccoutably good for the season of the year. Am able to write fully even enjoy life, begin to look backward instead of forward as in the past months, and get no prospect better than former, ah, I suffer and seem to enjoy the short duration of state which, Lord help me if I am deceiving myself. when sad, I am very sad, but when cheerful,am much so. The change in times and things have gone without regret, but lately I look on the world with longing eyes and heart. Why is it? wrote yesterday to Maggie, the whole month..and no word from her ..will certainly receive one this week.
