1866. [underscored]

Feby 7th
Wednesday Went to the Ivy cottage to talk
with Christina and Charlotte, and to
read two books
Do you mean to die in your Sins?" and
"Christ knocking". Charlotte seemed
subdued, and listened attentively, and
wept. when I said, that now both their Mothers
were laid low in the silent grave, we wanted to act the Mothers' part, teach and take care of them, but
they would not let us, depend upon it, a day will come when you will bitterly repent, O that you would repent now before it is too late.
Miss Weight did not [inserted] come today to teach, as she was ill and had a fit.

Thursday Ellen Holmes asked to speak privately with
8th the Matron, when she said "I might as well
tell you the truth, I am [underlined] not [end underlined] a widow, and
my children are not all dead, as I told you,
but my husband is alive, and my children
are doing well, one is married to a settler,"
told her how wrong it was to deceive the ladies
