Oct. 18-24
Such a beautiful sermon from Dr. Wilmer....The Christ of History. Visitors this week .... Finish reading Mrs. Hannah Mores Memories in two vols. I'm much entertained with what ease she writes. Think I shall recommend her letters as speciments of epistology art. Late Friday evening Dave comes home. He has been slightly wounded in the fight on Monday at Buckland [Mills in Prince William County.] He brings me the bullet that hurt him ....Buy a new Calico dress and for the 8 yards, English Goods, pay $56, and a pair of grey flannel gloves, pay $10 for. Did I ever believe I should live to see such times! "Counting the Cost" comes out in the Churchman this week.
