Journal Entry

September 15, 1843 ~ Friday

15th I thought of taking the cars for Boston but
I could not bear the thought of going without
seeing the Father & Sarah. It was rather a gloomy
day the rain poured down like a torrent I
A hand pointing to the right wrote a letter to Shuah inasmuch as I could
not see her. Mother took me about the house
showed me her carpet that Iluse gave her & some
dresses & all the rooms. I went Into the back

Sept 15

chamber whare Phebe has spent so many
days with me, but it was vacant the want
there, it was gloomy. I turned away. I
went to see the bark mill or New wind mill
they had built it is not large enough & it
dont do well. Fabyan gave me soul leather
for two pair of shoes for myself & Phebe
& Willy & upper leather, to take home I walked
out in the orchard no apples ripe, seasons
growing shorter in Maine. I spent the night
as usual alone
