1862 December 10 "Hopedale," Albemarle County, Va.



[from the diary of Mary S. Boydon of "Hopedale," Albemarle County, Va.]

Wednesday 10th-  Father got off today--& will return
on Friday--Raleigh got back--He brought me
a note from Mrs C saying that R could remain
here till the close of this year & then go to Mr
Nelson if he desired it-May God protect him
wherever he is!  I feel too feeble to know what
is right & cannot of course, tell what would
be best for him--I want to cast this "burden
on the Lord," as I have cast so many others &
found relief--I am sure the Judge & Creator
of all the earth will do right

MSS 4208
