User-Contributed Transcription Monday Feb. 21) Tuesday 22 Wed.Went to walk and then washed Gentlemen all off again except Mr. Mitchell - read worked on Ottoman. Began blue woolen knitting at night. Wrote letter home Tuesday - No mail came. my letters to George and home were ready - rained almost all day - Cleared away cold at night = wind blew tremendously all night = I copied a piece for the "Rising Star"-Wednesday-23 Very windy but fair. Think Isaac will leave St. Louis to day. Read most of the forenoon - embroidered in P.M. Read three chapter of "Parisian scenes" & concluded I preferred America to France. It is distressing to think of such a state of things in any part of the world - How sadly they need the simple Christian faith
