Description
The following is a transcription of Martha Baldwin's diary, 1859-1860. Question marks inclosed in parentheses represent words in the original diary that were illegible. Elipses are used to indicate larger portions of the text found to be illegible.

The man to whom the place is rented says he must move in the first of next week. I dread it for Sarah does not go till the last and would stay longer were it not for that. I had hoped we could have the whole house till the first of October. Must make the most of it. I know nothing as yet as to where we are going but wherever I go to school father and mother must go for I am not well enough to want to go away alone. I have the catarrh and for a whole week past is has seemed every morning as though I should choke. I have not owed it even to myself till now I hope to cure it. If not thy will be done.
