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

September 16, 1843 ~ Saturday

16^th A plesent day I wrote in my journal &
talked with mother she done me up Babary
& dandalions to take to Phebe, & she gave me
three pair of stockings & four balls of yarn for
Phebe & one pair for the two Wilfords each
In the afternoon Arthur Milliken & Lucy
called upon us the first time they had been
to Father Carters. Luther Scammans & his
Brother also came we had a good time together
Lucy talked with Mother about Phebe, she
gave me a letter to take to her Mother & wished
me to call, & see her as soon as I get home
It seemed a great consolation to Lucy to
see one from Nauvoo. I parted with them
all abot sundown. I have just herd of the
death of Elleezene Patterson who died today
left a child one week old Also Capt Mark Lovett,
Major Josiah Libby wife cut her throat today
I believe she is not dead. Capt Benjamin Milliken
& his wife is dead so times go in Maine, all
societies are nearly Broaken up, in this region
As concerning Ezras family He looks feeble
& grows old his wife is well Ann Elizabeth is
