Thanksgiving. Received notice to meet a town committee on
Bradley's Hill, about buying it. Then went to church. Afterwards to see Henry
Upham, who is unwell. The children went to James Amory's in the evening. The
reminiscences grow too numerous to make such days cheerful ones, except as we
should be cheerful in approaching the end of our journey.
God bless my dear ones, and give them all grace to serve Thee
all their days. Grant that we may all meet, when this life is over, in heaven.
God bless my distracted country. Turn the hearts of the
people toward each other again. Save us from disunion, and save us from
shedding fraternal blood.
