Day in the Life

Sep 9, 1848

Journal Entry

September 09, 1848 ~ Saturday

9 [FIGURES] I recieved a letter from J. Gibson and wrote
one to W. J. Appleby I spent the day to Father Carters
He retains hims memory & faculties of mind well he has
brought up one of the best families of Sons & Daughters
that can be found in the State of Maine.

During the
day I read a work called the young mans guide by Wm A
Alcott seventeenth Edition which contains many excellent
morrals that are worthy of imitation & practice upon a great
variety of subjects it is a valuable work I have one error in
reading ie I read much more than I digest the above work is
one of the best Gentile works I ever saw
