Elmira, on the 10 Oclock evening
train. Found Mrs. Welling just retired
were up again at 4 Oclock A.M.
to go to Pen Yan - Mrs. Rose'
meeting was small again.

The Rev. Mr. Murdock, preaches
in one of their most popular churches
& his bigotry is enough to enslave the
whole community --

W. R. Con. held in Wesleyan Methodist
Church at Pen Yan, Wednesday Jan 10th 1855 -

Arrived here from Elmira, about
8 Oclock A.M. - Miss Richmonds Cousin
met her at Depot & took her to his
home - A Mr. Brigham also met
us & took Mrs. Rose & self to the house of
Mr. Curtis - very fine family indeed -
every thing in beautiful order -- & the
cooking scientifically done - oh the
murderous work that is perpetrated
in the culinary department of nine
tenths the establishments of the land -

The domestic sphere, considered the
only appropriate one for woman &
yet not one woman in ten taught
the art of bread making even --

Here we came in collision
with Elder Knapp, the great Baptist
Revivalist - he had been at work
three weeks - still, we had a full
house, & great interest manifested.

In the evening - had a full house
again, & an full vote, asking Mrs. Rose
to remain & speak again Thursday
night -- but we were too tired to think
of it -- had been broken up our sleep
so much for the week past --
