Journal Entry

May 22nd I slept well and arose feeling much refreshed and
rested at 730 am. I took a walk and returned for breakfast. I felt
somewhat drowsy, & slept some during the morning. Elder B.
Young called and we had a nice conversation. Mrs. E. Siebert gave
me a bottle of fomented milk which I drank with a relish.
I read some and went to bed early slept fairly well.
