March 22-28
A bright day. Monday morning about four o'clock old Uncle Peter died. Poor old man. It was in mercy that he was called home by the One who does all things right. Life to him for the last six months has been "labor and sorrow" by reason of years and he was not only willing but anxious to be gone. I believe he was a Christian and has now gone to his reward. Uncle Peter was a very old man-near a hundred the old ones think. He has been a good faithful servant and ever a firm friend of mine. I wrote his wife, Aunt Mary, a long letter telling her all the particulars of his death ....Wednesday the 25th Ma's birthday-70 years old today; the three score and ten of the scriptures and is still an active old woman and enjoys good health. May God spare her to me for a long time yet. Numerous notes from Music Hall. I've concluded to go with Dave in the cars Saturday. Working in the garden. Friday the 17th is a Fast Day we go to church and hear Mr. Meade....Saturday a bad day so I can't go to Music Hall.
