User-Contributed Transcription I did not go to meeting next day - and Monday, I presentedmy self before the "chief of the goodly-house", to lay mycase before her. She immediately excused me from calisthenics, and from walking, but said I must ride as a substitute. I have rode 3 times. I enjoyed it very much.

Three youngladies were not expected last week to recover but they are
