“War declared between Great Britain and the U.S. – a great and awful calamity threatening our country with ruin and desolation.”

“I visited Richford with Miss S. and Lester at Mr. Powel’s and at Dr Willoughby’s in Bekshire – had a very pleasant ride and returned home. I terminated my school and accompanied Uncle H, and cousin M. to Georgia.”
