Sabbath July 28

God grant that War may cease in the land for this holy day at least.  A very heavy thunderstorm this morning.  After it Lizzie and I went to meeting.  Bennet C. Bailey read the sermon from the text "The Spirit and the Bride say, Come".  Mr. Heath came up to bring home the plates in which Lizzie sent pies and cakes yesterday, and to tell us goodbye and to thank us in the name of this squad for our kindness.  They expect to go in the morning.  We do not know who are to take their places.  I hope William will get home this week.  Congress talks of adjourning, but still holds on.
