They have come overland from Los Angeles where they reside, to make, as it were, a farewell visit, for to all human appearances, he is not long for earth. He is seventy eight years old, and quite feeble. It is wonder that he could stand such a journey. She is just as ever, kind and friendly.

Thursday. I rode to the ferry this afternoon with Dr. to visit with Mr. & Mrs. Rogers' at Mr. Norton's. The old man is very feeble, will not probably last long. He is much troubled in his breathing. Dr. took him out to ride a little farther, and it seems to make him better to ride. The old veterans, born in the last century, I look upon with respect. I called at Clara's on my way home.
