SATURDAY, MARCH 19, 1870.

Bro. Woolsey started away from us with wife this forenoon. I have enjoyed his visit very much. I went out to Shands this morning to see him about the boy which I have about hired. Went on to Dover & took dinner at Mrs. George Halls. Got a bag of Liverpool Salt and went over after Annie Douglass to go home with me. Succeeded in my project & have had a pleasant visit with her. I have been unusually busy to-night. I made brine and put it in the meat, &c.

SUNDAY, MARCH 20, 1870.

I went out to the Port this morning to meeting, and took my friend Annie with me. Had a pleasant and proffitable conversation with her about religion and matrimony or the necessity of two being agreed on that one point. Bro Thurlow{?} preached. After service I went over to Bowlbys to dinner and got home from there in time for the meeting. Bro. German preached to us from the fourth commandment, "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy". He did not spare any one in this matter but exposed Sabath desecrations generally.
