[from the diary of Anne Madison Willis Ambler]
There was no dinner cooked to day & on
the whole we had a quiet day--the children
were all well but Daisy--I am very
uneasy about her gave her a dose of calomel
this morning--poor little thing--oh it
the most terrible thought- losing a
child. Seeing it die--laying it in the
cold ground to sleep--Oh God be merciful
with me,--teach me to trust in thee
more & more not put all in affection
on things & in this world
[as transcribed in 1972 by her granddaughter Anne Madison Wright Baylor]
