JAN 1^st 1849 Monday this is the first day of 1849 we have
traversed in our minds And recorded some thing
which has transpired during the past year what the present year
will bring to pass time must determin But I have no boubt [doubt] but the
peresent year will chronicle events of equal importance with the past
As the crices has commenced with the past it will progress with the
future untill all nations will be constrained to Acknowledg their is A
God in Heaven whose hand is stretched out to perform A great and
marvellous work in the Earth in the last days

The News this morning is in the Boston Daily times is that the steame[r]
Europa had arived Bringing News that Prince Louis Napoleon was elect[ed]
President of France. The Emperor of Austria had ADbdicated his
Throne in favor of his young Nephew. Dredful starvation in Ireland
Raging of the cholera in Europe And esspecially in the south of
America. it is raging at New Orleans in such a manner that the inh-
abitants are fleeing out all that can get out. All business is stoping
Captains Mates &clerks & Hands Are dying of the steam boats so that
they have to stop running. I shall watch the movements of the
signs of the times & record them daily
