15th
Went to school this morning, not feeling remarkably bright. Did not go to meeting in the evening.
16th
School. At home in the evening.
17th
Went to school this morning, very warm and bright. We analyzed the Paeyne(sp) flower in the Botany class. The first flower I have seen this season. Went to meeting in the evening.
18th
At home, and up town remained nearly all the forenoon. Saw Mr. McKnsing(sp) who has just returned from the army, he was discharged on account of illness. At home in the afternoon. Went to the University to hear some recitations by Griffith, the elocutionist. Very good.
19th
Pleasant this morning went to church. To Third Ward this afternoon.
[NOTE: No entries from April 20th , 1863 through June 27th, 1863]
Sunday June 28th 1863
Another long gap in my journal, and I promised myself at the last that that there should not be another if it was in my power to prevent it, but such are human resolves. The last two months I have been very busy, between attending school and the meetings and getting my lessons, my time has been fully occupied. I never enjoyed a mission[indecipherable] better in my life and deeply regret that I am not able to go on with my studies, when I think of what I might do and what I might be if I only had an opportunity of continuing my studies for two or three
