Diary of Josephine Shaw Lowell: September 29, 1861

Mother and Howard went to hear Mr. Beecher, and talking of Fremont, etc., etc., he told her she must have trust in God. “But I do,” she answered. “What good does it do you?” he asked. “You trust in God and worry all the time. It's just as if I should pay my passage through to Albany in the cars and then walk up all the way.”
