We had calculated having a good time together on the Sunday, but to how(?) disappointed he had to be gone by the 7 o'clock train.

Advised me to be careful and not be led awry by the young girls, especially to be mindful of those at Stockport "Shaws," in fact to be mind- [50] ful and careful of all, for my own salvation's sake. He departed by 7 o'clock, "I believe a better man," never presided over Manchester Conference. Returned from the station and had a read in the "Star," my name having for the first time appeared in the columns of the "Star," No. 19, Vol. 24.

Supper and washed my leg in warm water, and rolled it in red flannel. Slept comfortable during the night.
