1862 December 14 "Hopedale," Albemarle County, Va.

[from the diary of Mary S. Boyden]


Sunday 14th  Communion day--I was not so power
-fully moved by a sense of my own unworthiness as so
desirous to grow better, as I ought--Will Jesus accept
the treacherous, faithless heart I want to give Him?
Lord, take it & make it pure & full of thy holiness.
My heart full of Raleigh today- & prayers perpet-
-ually going up to God for him-He is so careless
& thoughtless.  Lord, save him, for Jesus' sake!  A
collection taken up for the soldiers amounting to
about $10--Saw Mr John Page & family for the
first time--He is very like Bishop Meade though
he says there is no relationship-
