Lucy, Annie, & I went up to the church to see the decorations. We called at Lyman Hartz. Mrs. Dawes & Lizzie spent the afternoon at the Burgess’ -- Mrs. G. W. Bailey called and brought her verbenas to put in Kate’s pit. The President issued his Emancipation proclamation on the 1st of January. May God bless him & it and our bleeding country.
