To-day my partnership with Mr. Mason is dissolved after
about fifteen years. Walked to town against a driving snowstorm. Stopped at
William's house; found him not very well. He is an invalid not unfrequently,
and sometimes I have anxiety on his account. But I trust that he will be spared
to us. He is very dear to me, as an only brother ought to be. This night, in
1852, my dear, good father went to heaven. God grant that we may follow him
whenever our time on this earth shall be ended.
