Sick at the time of receiving letter. Well now after taking 2 doses of Calomel. Landon Garland and his wife, Louisa, went to Weldon and then on to Norfolk and Baltimore. Got letter from Landon saying they would have to stay in Baltimore for the doctor to look at her case which is thought to be consumption. He advised her to dry up her milk. Little twins are good. Little Maurice is very unwell but seems to be improving today. Matilda Boyd stayed 2 days this week and was pleased with her dress. Anxious for Fanny to come live with Mr. Baskervilles with the only objection being the small salary. Heard nothing from Alexander, sent copy of the letter to him: unable to provide services of Miss. Burwell because of arrangement with brother. At a revival, four of Mr. Blanche's scholars were converted, one of whom was Lucy Goode.
