MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1870.

The boys have been working at the Cloverseed this afternoon or rather all day. The weather is very favourable for such work & promises to continue so for a time. Don't know that I have ever felt a more perfect resignation to the will of God with refference to the matter of a Companion than at present. Thank God for a trusting spirit. May it never depart from my mind. O Lord! Which ever way He leads me I want to be Content.

I have been with my dear mother, away to the Hultsville{?} Camp Meeting to day. Have enjoyed it much and my soul has been blessed. They are having an excellent Camp meeting. We met with Rev. James Grey of the Wellington Square Circuit who was on our circuit about twenty three years ago. I asked after the wellfare of my friends down there and He said that they were all well. He remembers being at our place when on the circuit distinctly besides incidents that happened him.
