May 25th
May 25th This morning early I re-commenced my riding exercises which I had discontinued for two or three days: I got a lesson in the receail & got a grammar lesson. After breakfast I wrote an exercise, recited my french to Uncle Otway Barraud and read history. Henry the fourth died in 1413 after a reign of 13 years in which time few events occurred that deserve to be transmitted to posterity. He was so much occupied in defending his crown (for he was an usurper) that he had little time to look abroad or perform any action which might signalize him or be of advantage to the nation. He died at the early age of 46 and left four sons and two daughters.
I heard Charles a lesson and worked until dinner—Then committed a geography lesson to memory. L.B. Cocke.
