[from the diary of Anne Madison Willis Ambler]
After breakfast read my Bible & then
finished Silverwood, but I do not like
that as much as I did Mrs L[?]
After reading was going to write when
Mrs Blackburn Ellen & Kate came over to
spend the day--Enjoyed hearing them
talk very much--Hite called to see
Pa--- We live in a [fever?] these
days coming, & going all the time. I
long for a nice quiet home again.
Can not feel settled, Truly never
has the saying more appropriate than
now- No knowing what a day may
bring forth, I feel this every hour.
I long to hear, & still dread the veil to be
lifted each day, There is no rest, no
peace this side the grave.
[as transcribed in 1972 by her granddaughter Anne Madison Wright Baylor]
