several blisters on my hands and feet, badges of the order. We have no girl now and I have commenced the old order by asking Father to call me up in the morning early. I am very tired but must study some. 6th Busy with work, sewing and study this evening. Sometimes I think I can prepare for Antioch and then I give up in despair. I called on Lizzie this evening. She is very pretty but no more so than when here last. 7th Uncle Frank’s people have been down. Also William Patrick who is here to night. I am not very well.
