[from the diary of Anne Madison Willis Ambler]
F & I- though it looked like it would
rain started off for a walk met bro
C - who turned back & we took a very nice
walk--my thoughts were with you. I could
not help wishing it was my "Mr Ambler."
Oh dear wishes of peace & fond
meetings come rushing through my
mind--Oh! for one moments happiness
such as I know will be mind when I see you
once again.
Sis Fannie came over & brought all the
children to spend the day--such noise &
confusion amongst the young folks. they
at least are as happy as ever: No s[ins?],
no sorrow,--Jacque is better I gave him
the last calomel this morning--
Bro C has advised Fannie not to try to
go with him, so we will both wait
till he goes home, & sends Pa down
for us--He will tell Pa that father will
send us to the River any time that he
will meet us there, or if that arrangement
does not suit him, come down himself.
Br Charles begged father to appoint a
day & send us & let Pa know of it but no
news--nothing would do but that Pa
must send some one all the way over
