Saturday April 19th
Went this afternoon with Maria to get up a subscription for a flag for the Third Volunteer Corp, met with good success, raised 84 dollars together with what the School Choir gave.
Went in the evening to the City Hall to see the Governor's Guard drill. They are a very good looking company and will be Company A in the first regiment. Saw several of the volunteers from Madison and bade them farewell as I shall not probably speak with them again.
Sunday April 20th
Went to church this morning at the Baptist Church. There was a sermon preached in the Episcopal Church by the pastor, Mr. Britton, to the volunteers who attended in uniform. The discourse is said to have been very appropriate and impressive. I would like to have gone but thought I must go to my own church. Dr. Brisbane's son preached in uniform. Went to the Congregational Chapel this afternoon. Do not like Dr. Baylor as well as our minister. Came home and wrote in my journal, read aloud from Gold Fool, and 'Emerson's Conduct of Life. Dr. Brisbane, Jr. preached in the evening to volunteers. Pa and Ma went with us as we were starting. Mr. High came for Maria, she had gone and he accompanied me. A large crowd in attendance. Choir sang Star Spangled Banner. As the people were going out Dr. Brisbane announced telegraph news
