Wednesday, January 5, 1859.—Thought of remaining at home to prepare for my journey. At noon James said they needed help at the office. I went down to help them. While [I was] writing, Sister McClemule came in. I must leave to talk with her. Jenny, mother, and Willie came next. Showed them the press. While [I was] folding, Sister Cornell came in and wished me to go down street to get some things. Walked down, got the things, returned to Brother Smith’s for supper, then home. 3MS 5, 1859. LASW 43.1
