Oct. 25-31

No church, it is too muddy ....Winter is coming fast upon us and I fear it will be one of suffering and want to many. May we all be willing to suffer much and be cheerful under it all for the sake of the great cause (our liberties) for which we are contending and may God help and strengthen us. Go on Friday to Orange Dale for a visit of a few days ....We have such nice tea parties. Uncle Elijah tries very hard to make a Baptist of me. Lends me "The Voice" with the hope it may lighten my darkness on the subject of water and the quantity necessary to save.
