SUNDAY, MAY 8, 1870.
I have to thank the Lord for glorious priveleges to day, such as but seldom fall to my lot. This is Mrs. Woolsys Quarterly Quart Meeting day an occasion which I never before witnessed amongst the Indians. Bro. Woolsey preached first, secondly we had Love-Feast and lastly the Sacriment. Many of the Indians were very happy in giving their experiences and throughout the meeting I enjoyed it gloriously. This afternoon we went to see old Mrs. Jones Rev. Peter Jone's mother who is 96 years old.
MONDAY, MAY 9, 1870
We came home this forenoon and found the roads a great deal better. Found everything all right. Charly was ploughing and the boy geting out stumps. I went to ploughing this afternoon with all my might, in order to make up for lost time. Our girl has got into the notion of leaving us through the instrumentality of certain evil disposed persons. I hope, however, that in the Lord; He is my guide in matters of all kinds. I do not fear what man can do unto me.
