Nov. 15
Johnny Macmurdo up to see us. He was one of Jim's most intimate friends; the sight of him brings back our loss so freshly. Sam Leitch has been such a comfort to us in our late affliction; seems to consider it his duty to take dear Jim's place to us as much as it is in his power. He is so gentle and affectionate, I feel much attached to him. He and I have always been good friends, but now there is a stronger bond between us. He loved Jim.
