Oct. 27. die before he will effect it.Mrs. Beaty would hardly speakto me at all, and only in answer tomy questions. This is the firsttime I have ever been treated so,and it naturally makes me feelsad, for I can think of no reasonfor it at all, Some remarks whichwe hear have been made by Mr.Montgomery in relation to themedical treatment which myDr. gave his sister, in which hehas told untruths, and also falsestories by this same Dr. Bentleymisrepresenting Dr. Locke, causedme so much pain that it morethan took away all the pleasure ofthe call, and grieved me exceedingly.This grief is very injuriousto me in my present state of feeblehealth, and I must endeavorto east it off, and be cheerful &happy. Dr. says he is not dependenton such people as they, andI know he is not. The cause of truthand right will prevail, ultimately,everywhere. The future will setall things right. I'll trust in God.Oct. 28. T.S.R. 40. 2 P.M. 76. S.S. 69. Mr.Walker dined with us, and hewith Elmer took tea with us, spentthe evening, and Mr. Walker willremain over night.Oct. 29. Wednesday. T.S.R. 55. 2 P.M.83. S.S. 76.
