Day in the Life

Aug 21, 1848

Journal Entry

August 21, 1848 ~ Monday

21st I spent the day with Brs Little Rockwood Carter
Felt Robins & others. In the perusal of the publications
[FIGURE] of the day we discover calamity among the nations Thrones
are being cast down war & rumours of wars
fires & judgments on evry hand during the last
week one forth part of Albany is laid in ruins by fire
loss from 3 to 5 millions of dollars The great out break
in Ireland that was expected has closed without much sheding
of blood but it seems that nearly every part of Europe
is in war
