no fresh air but on Sunday; can t
breathe in church-always so full feel
feverish; feel a little chilly; feel little
lazy; expect company to dinner; got a
headache intend nursing myself to-day
new bonnet not come home tore my dress
was mt shaved in time; don't like the pas
tor; always praying for the same thing
don't like IA an organ-'tis too noisy
don't like singing without music-it makes
me nervous; the spirit is willing but the
flesh is weak; dislike an extemporc sor-
mon-too prosy nobody to-day but our
own minister-can' always listen to the
same preacher; don t like strangers; can t
keep awake when l am ut church-Gcll
