April 29-May 5
Hear Mr. Omen from I Timothy 3-16. Get home after church and am very poorly again, not able to sit up for a day or so .... I can do nothing but lie on the bed and read. Oh! if I could only be strong again. A letter from dear Miss Vallant. What would I give to see her but she says she cannot come as she has promised Sue Bacon to go to her in Boston this summer and she cannot make two trips. She sends me such a nice lot of flower seeds. Aunt Ria is still with the Doctor-poor little woman! I fear much she will never be well again. I indulge myself this week to an excess in novel reading. Hope to do better soon ....On Saturday quite an unexpected pleasure. Quite early in the day, Miss Carrie Morrill comes in and spends the day and night with us ....I feel as if I could love her for she is Emily's friends and thus is no everyday character. We sympathize with each other over our loss of dear Emily. In the evening, Carrie and I ride to town, do some work and then return. On calling at the office I am delighted to find a letter from Emily sent from Savannah, where the Mary C. Stevens stopped to take on emigrants from Augusta. She writes with a sad heart but with not one word of regret for the steps she has taken. Says she is very happy that she has been permitted to go.
