November 6th 1858

Sunday Nov 6th 1858

It is a week since I have written anything about my doings. It has been a monotonous lonesome week. There has been nobody to see us but once when Decker called. Moses is mad and of course Jo S- comes no more. I am almost inclined to ask him to come again but I cannot but call it a weakness for such a meeting could but be painful to us both. It would be doing him an injustice that I would not do to him for I feel a greater friendship for him that anyone else. Yet I can never be anything but a friend to him for I have a greater duty to preform to my parents. I am their youngest and only remaining child and I shall never marry without their free and full consent. Yet in the time I have been with him I have learned to respect- I had almost said love him, though I should not say that for I never did love.
