Thursday June 27



I sewed all day, finished grey calico dress.  Today Ephraim graduates.  I should like well to hear him speak his piece, the "True Reformer".  William returned from Chillicothe.  After a few days at home he will leave for Washington to take his seat in Congress.  God give to him and to his colleagues all needed wisdom and have them in His holy keeping.
