Dec. 7-13
Hear Mr. Meade....[Take] my first communion. God grant that I was worthly of that precious feast. Help me to watch and pray And on Thyself rely Assured if I my trust betray I shall forever die.
Go down to Music Hall on Monday. Find Sister Mary alone, brother Jim having taken the freed servants to Norfolk to ship them for "Africa's sunny clime." He gets back this week and has so many amusing stories to tell of their trip down. Poor things. To many of them their freedom will prove anything but a blessing. My kindest wishes attend them to their new home. Miss V spends several nights with us. Charlotte and Lizzie call. At the Creek for a day and night. I get roused on "the goose question." [slave insurrections] ....
