Diary of Judith W. McGuire: February 7, 1862

Walking all day, with no better success. “No vacant room” is the universal answer. I returned at dinner-time, wearied in mind and body. I have been cheered by suggestions that perhaps Mrs. –––, with a large family and small income, may take boarders; or Mrs. –––, with a large house and small family, may do the same.
