-
Self's exorcism has had a good effect puts little confidence in his own prayers so expected little success. Self hears Tucker's penance has begun to work a "strange Revolution" putting him in a "religious state." Mr. C? says he would write if there were two pens and enough paper in the house. Beverley will be with Tucker shortly. Self will do as mentioned with respect to the "bore." Self forgot that Randolph was 20 miles closer to Williamsburg than to Matoax. Self delivered Tucker's letter to Hughes who isn't sure if he wants to remain in College. Self doesn't know any student who would undertake the business Tucker requests. Self heard Tucker received a much "colder wrapper" than a flannel shirt. Naturally news of a lady dividing her love would affect him. Self is glad to hear of Tucker's return.
